In the guided van tour, riders ride among the signature green-roofed barns, home to 1,700 horses during the racing and training season. In addition to the horses, they see some of the hundreds of people who live and work on the Backside as they care for and train the world-class Thoroughbreds.

We saw the stables where winning horses have lived during their time at Churchill Downs (there are plaques to honor each Kentucky Derby winning horse at their named stable)
