While in Kentucky, we had a private tour of Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Churchill Downs is a horse racing complex in south Louisville, Kentucky, United States, famed for hosting the annual Kentucky Derby. It officially opened in 1875 and was named after Samuel Churchill, whose family had been prominent in Kentucky for many years.

Here is the entrance with a Barbaro statue in the front. Barbaro will be remembered for his six first-place finishes, including the 2006 Kentucky Derby, which he dominated by 6 1/2 lengths. The bronze statue, created by Kentucky artist Alexa King, showcases Barbaro and jockey Edgar Prado in mid-flight between strides nearing the finish line in the 2006 Kentucky Derby.
