Event Information

The Churchill Downs Racing schedule is your guide to live Thoroughbred racing at one of America’s most famous venues—Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Churchill Downs conducts live racing during scheduled meets, with race days built around full programs of competition. With spring and fall race meets (and additional live racing dates depending on the annual calendar), there are plenty of chances to plan a day at the track.

Churchill Downs is deeply woven into the sport’s history. The track opened in 1875, and the Kentucky Derby was first run there in 1875—a tradition that continues annually and places Churchill Downs at the center of American racing. Beyond Derby week, the calendar features premier graded stakes races and other race days that make the venue a recurring destination for racing fans.

A day at the races is structured as a race “card,” meaning you’ll see multiple races in one day, each run as its own contest among an entered field of Thoroughbreds. Horses are entered into specific races based on conditions such as age/sex restrictions, allowance conditions, or stakes eligibility, and stakes races can include nomination and entry procedures. While each race day is a single-day program, the broader race meet spans multiple weeks, giving you multiple dates to choose from when you’re picking your preferred outing.

There’s plenty at stake on every card—especially on big days. Purses vary by race, and stakes races offer higher purses than allowance or claiming races. Winners earn race-specific titles, and those results can carry broader significance—strong performances can enhance a horse’s value for breeding and future stakes opportunities. For fans, that means you’re not just watching a single moment—you’re seeing results that can shape what comes next in the sport.
