In the late eighteenth century, in the bustling city streets of
Louisville, began a tradition of thoroughbred racing that has
transcended centuries. Follow Kimberly Gatto as she chronicles the
history of the world's most famous racing venue, which
revolutionized the "Sport of Kings" and created the Kentucky Derby,
Kentucky Oaks and Clark Handicap races. Fans will enjoy the tales
of various horses, from the early triumph of Ten Broeck over Mollie
McCarthy to the Derby victory of the heroic Barbaro. Churchill
Downs: America's Most Historic Racetrack recounts how various
financial hardships, the introduction of parimutuel wagering, the
construction of the famed twin spires and the age of television
transformed Churchill Downs into the majestic track we recognize
today.
