30 Years as the Kentucky Derby "Bugler"

He is also the "Bugler" at Keeneland horse track in Lexington, KY. Steve plays the "call to the past" before each horserace. Steve graduated from Washington HS in Cedar Rapids in 1983. Steve and his wife (Rhonda) have 2 children - Megan (Eric) Coriell and Tyler (Katharine) Buttleman. They have 4 grandchildren. We are SO PROUD of you!
