A national Historic Landmark and home of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks, Churchill Downs racetrack conducts Thoroughbred horse racing in Louisville, Kentucky during three race meets in the Spring, September, and the Fall. No races? Take a 30-min tour at the Kentucky Derby Museum!

An American Icon In 1875, Churchill Downs officially opened its gates in Louisville, and began its tradition as "Home of the Kentucky Derby." The Derby is now the longest continually-running sporting event in America and is known as the most exciting two minutes in sports
