Racing in the Dark

We ventured to Churchill Downs for some night racing in Saturday. The $500,000 Stephen Foster was on the card and we got to see a blow out race for last years Breeders' Cup Classic winner Fort Larned.



From the Equibase office on the 6th floor. The guys in there were nice enough to let us come watch a few races in there.

Then the guys told us how to sneak onto the roof. Pretty awesome getting a top view of the spires.



Finish line :)

Trophy from the big Arabian race they had. Really strange to see Arabians running at Churchill.


Where the 'magic' happens in the track Equibase office.

  1. Wow fab photos!
    Makes me think of images I've seen from Dubai as their racing takes place at night as well, no?

    1. It's Churchill Downs :)

      They do night racing most Saturdays in the summer now.
