Demolition of Turfway Park will soon make way for new-and-improved facility run by Churchill Downs

Churchill Downs plans to spend $150 million, including the purchase price, on renovations at Turfway Park, and demolition of the northern Kentucky track will begin soon. The grandstands will be torn down and rebuilt. The only things that will stay the same are the paddock and the jockey’s facilities. Construction should be finished by summer 2021, but the track will be ready for the next meet in December.
