From a VIP experience at the Finish Line to free tailgating and General Admission on the final turn and stretch, Kentucky Downs provides a unique experience.

Kentucky Downs is home to America’s only European-style (all-turf) racecourse, and at one mile and five-sixteenths in length, it is one of the longest tracks in the nation.
