Kentucky Downs is home to America’s only European-style (all turf) racecourse, and at one mile and five-sixteenths in length, it is one of the longest tracks in the nation.

Unlike other racetracks, which are typically oval, the course is kidney-shaped, featuring undulation and a unique right-hand bend.

The track’s average field size of about 11 horses per race also tops America, which combined with the lowest overall betting “takeout” has made it the top-rated track by the Horseplayers Association of North America.

At just seven days each year, Kentucky Downs hosts one of the most exclusive thoroughbred horse racing meets in North America.

Tickets are on sale at www.themintkentuckydowns.com/tickets. Kentucky Downs runs Aug. 29, 31 and Sept. 1, 5, 7, 8 and 11. Reserved seating is available every day in the popular open-air Finish Line Pavilion, which has been expanded, and every day except Saturday Sept. 7 in the air-conditioned VIP Chalet. Reserved seating tickets include buffet, snacks and open bar.

Reserved seats are sold in sets of two, four and a full table of eight and include food and beverages, including bar. Individual tickets may be available for purchase on race day, depending on inventory, at www.themintkentuckydowns.com/tickets or at the track at the Admissions Tents entering the ticketed venues.

Horsemen who have a horse running that day in a stakes will receive up to eight complimentary reserved tickets and up to four for a horse on the undercard. Additional horsemen’s tickets can be purchased in advance at the Kentucky HBPA rate of 50 percent off the public price. (The discount does not apply to race-day purchases.) The new procedure for horsemen to procure their race-day tickets is on page 50 of the Kentucky Downs condition book.

New in 2024 is an admission option called the Stretch Run, offering access to the rail around the eighth pole and jumbotron viewing for the lowest price point. Guests have access to a 40 X 100-foot tent with tables and chairs, with seating on a first come first served, non-reservable basis. Food and beverage is a la carte, with burgers, hotdogs, beer, wine and soft drinks available. The Stretch Run, sold as individual tickets, costs $25 on weekdays and $40 on weekends, with no availability on Sept. 7.
