Churchill Downs Suspends Racing

 



     Thoroughbred Horse Racing at Churchill Downs is scheduled to be suspended from June 7th - July 3rd according to the Churchill Downs website.  The pause is due to a number of horse fatalities that have taken place since April 27th including several horses that died after racing at Churchill Downs on the day of the 2023 Kentucky Derby.  The rest of the Spring season is scheduled to be moved about two hours away to Ellis Park Racing & Gaming located in Henderson, Kentucky beginning on Saturday, June 10th.  Churchill Downs is located in Louisville, Kentucky. 

     On Saturday, May 5th, Mage won the 2023 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs as a 15-1 longshot.  On Saturday, May 20th, National Treasure won the 2023 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland at 5/2 final odds.  The 2023 Belmont Stakes is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 10th at Belmont Park located in Elmont, New York.  There will be no Triple Crown winner in 2023.
