The world-famous home of the Kentucky Derby has been in operation since 1875, and the Derby is, annually, the most anticipated thoroughbred race of the year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the Breeders’ Cup on six occasions, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
The Derby has been the home of many great moments, including a record-setting time from the great Secretariat in his 1973 Derby win. Bill Shoemaker won the Derby four times in his illustrious career, but Bill Bartack and Eddie Arcaro top the list with five wins each.
