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.

Churchill Downs Racetrack conducts Thoroughbred horse racing in Louisville, Kentucky through June. Tickets and Scheduled Tours are available on the website.
