With all the hoopla surround the May-Pac fight and the Run for the Roses, one popular figure stood out in events connected to both star-studded spectacles.

And she was hard to miss.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model, Hannah Davis, made waves
first at The SI draft party in Las Vegas, posing with pro athletes on Thursday night, then at Yonkers Raceway on Saturday in New York to host the Empire City Casino’s Kentucky Derby festivities.

The 24-year-old Davis, who appeared in her third Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions this year, took photos with fans and signed autographs during the afternoon. Just two days prior, she was doing similar duty at the SI Draft Day Viewing Party at the SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, according to SI.com http://www.si.com/swim-daily/2015/05/01/hannah-davis-attends-si-draft-day-party-las-vegas

Davis, the girlfriend of legendary Yankee player Derek Jeter, joined harness driver Tyler Buter, WVOX Radio personality John Marino, and WAG Magazine’s Georgette Gouveia on the blue-ribbon panel selecting the winner of Empire City’s annual “ Fancy Derby Hat Contest”. The contest was held trackside as part of the festivities and a grand prize of $750 was awarded .

Davis is also the new face of DirectTV, ousting former pitchman Rob Lowe recently. http://www.si.com/swim-daily/2015/04/10/hannah-davis-directv-ads-talking-horse

As Davis posed with fans as well as Buter, one of the leading drivers at Yonkers, there was some disgruntlement coming from Buter’s camp.

“I hate being constantly stalked by the paparazzi,” Buter said.

Yeah, right.
