The Cardinals are ready for the Kentucky Derby - A Hunt and Peck

Themed road trips are not uncommon. The Cardinals have done a tuxedo trip in the past among other costume-themed trips. The team continued the tradition for their current road trip, looking dapper in these Kentucky Derby style outfits.

Hopefully the clothes inspire the team to a winning trip!
