Kentucky Downs - Opening Weekend at Kentucky Downs!

It's opening weekend at North America's only European style racecourse, Kentucky Downs. Enjoy all the action as some of racing's best turf runners, take to the lawn for this official rite of fall. 


Things kick off with a bang this Saturday with the annual Kentucky Cup Turf Festival. Three turf stakes are carded for this day including the $200,000 Grade III Kentucky Cup Turf. Silverfoot returns to his old stomping grounds in search of another graded stakes victory. Can this eight-year-old take the cake, or will a fresh face shock the field?

  • Saturday:
    • $200,000 Grade III Kentucky Cup Turf
    • $100,000 Kentucky Cup Ladies Turf
    • $100,000 Kentucky Cup Turf Dash
  • Live racing: Saturday, Monday and Tuesday with first post on Monday and Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. EDT and first post on Saturday at 1:10 p.m. EDT.
