Kentucky Derby Information
Churchill Downs
700 Central Avenue • Louisville, KY 40208
Horse racing in Kentucky is rich in history, dating back to 1789 when the first
race course was laid out in Lexington. However, it was almost 100 years later,
in 1875, that Churchill Downs officially opened and began its tradition as
"Home of the Kentucky Derby."
In 1787, The Commons, a park-like block near Lexington's Race Street was
used by horsemen for racing. By 1789, complaints by "safety minded"
citizens led to the formal development of a race meet at The Commons. The
men who organized this race meet, including Kentucky Statesman Henry
Clay, also formed the Commonwealth's first Jockey Club. The organization
later was named the Kentucky Jockey Club in 1809.
Racing in Louisville dates back to 1783 when local sources reported that
races were held on Market Street in the downtown area. To alleviate the
problems associated with racing on the busy city thoroughfare, a course was
developed at the now abandoned Shippingport Island in 1805. Racing was
conducted on the island in the Ohio River at what was called the Elm Tree
Gardens.
By 1827, a new track, known as the Hope Distillery Course, was laid out on
what is presently Main and 16th Streets. Racing was also held on a number
of private tracks located on farms throughout the local area. One of the more
prominent of these was Peter Funk's Beargrass Track which was located in
an area now bordered by Hurstbourne Lane and Taylorsville Road.
The Oakland Race Course was opened in the fall of 1833 and brought racing
back to a formal site with the track, complete with clubhouse, located at what
is now Seventh and Magnolia Streets in "Old Louisville". This was followed in
1858 by the opening of the Woodlawn Course on the Louisville and
Lexington railroad lines just outside of today's St. Matthews, east of
Louisville. The site closed in 1870, but the Woodlawn Vase, the track's
premier trophy, has been used in the presentation to the winner of the
Preakness Stakes at Pimlico since 1917.
Harness racing was also a significant part of Louisville's early racing history
with a number of tracks in existence. One of the most prominent was
Greeneland, a racecourse for trotters was built just east of Churchill Downs
in 1868.
