Kentucky Downs

Kentucky Downs, nestled on the Kentucky-Tennessee border in Franklin, Kentucky, stands out as North America's only European-style turf course—boasting a picturesque, non-oval, and undulating layout that includes a rare right-hand turn. Its brief live racing meet every August-September is a high-stakes festival featuring some of the richest purses in the country, including prestigious graded turf events like the Franklin-Simpson Stakes and the Nashville Derby.
