Churchill Downs is a racetrack for thoroughbred racing and is known for hosting the most famous race in the world, the Kentucky Derby. It opened back in 1875 and hosted the first Kentucky Derby and first Kentucky Oaks in 1875. These events were created and inspired by England’s Epsom Derby, Epsom Oaks and St. Leger Stakes. The events have been held continuously at Churchill Downs. It has also host the Breeders’ Cup on multiple occasions including in 2018.

Churchill Downs was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986. On June 19, 2009, Churchill Downs hosted its first-ever night race. That same year, Churchill Downs was ranked number 5 out of 65 thoroughbred tracks by the Horseplayers Association of North America. The famous twin spires on top of the grandstands are the most recognizable architectural feature at Churchill Downs and are used as a symbol of the track and the Kentucky Derby alike.

Racing at Churchill Downs occurs in two meets. The spring meet starts in late April, one week before the Kentucky Derby, and continues until early July. A fall meet starts in late October and closes Thanksgiving weekend in late November each year.
