We are proud to announce Roots & Jones is the official writing instrument of The Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs . This collectible rollerball is handcrafted from reclaimed oak wood sourced from the Churchill Downs Paddock.

Introducing our Founders Collection, our very first design brought back after 5 years with improved quality, including enhanced finishing techniques, palladium-plated hardware, and the Roots & Jones LuxeFlow Refill. This slimmer style, different from our Magnetic Rollerball and Ambassador collections, features a cap that screws onto the base and twists off to reveal the rollerball nib, with the option to be threaded onto the pen's back when writing.

With the 150th anniversary of the KY Derby in May 2024, this limited edition writing instrument is the perfect tool for placing your bets. We are crafting only 150 of them to commemorate the 150 years of the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports.

Each writing instrument bears the insignia of the KY Derby and will be engraved with its unique number from 1 to 150. They will come packaged in a KY Derby 150th Anniversary box and with a certificate of authenticity.
