Kentucky Racing Seasons & Visitor Guide
How Kentucky's racing seasons fit together
Kentucky racing moves between venues through the year. Churchill Downs has separate spring, September and fall meets, while Keeneland is known for its spring and fall racing. Choose the dated meet before planning a trip; a season's opening and closing dates do not mean racing takes place every day.
Louisville or Lexington?
Use Churchill Downs for a Louisville race day and Keeneland for Lexington. Start with the racecourse guide to find its address, calendar and visitor information. The Kentucky Derby and Oaks belong to Churchill Downs; the Blue Grass Stakes belongs to Keeneland. Each feature is part of a larger race day, with its own start time.
Finding racing elsewhere in Kentucky
Turfway Park, Ellis Park and Kentucky Downs also feature in Kentucky's racing calendar. The statewide calendar below helps you look beyond the Churchill Downs and Keeneland racecards shown here. Check the host venue and local time, especially when comparing destinations across the state.
Kentucky Results, Replays & TV
Open an individual race for available runners, finishing positions and video. A broadcast may cover several venues; match the track, race date and number.
