Churchill Downs was a pleasant surprise. Although I knew nothing about horseracing, they had a nice museum and interesting tours. Of course, the racetrack is best known as the home of the Kentucky Derby. We toured the stands along with a look "behind the scenes" including the jockeys' areas, millionaires row (we saw the room where Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed the race last year), and other off-track betting areas. If you're in Louisville and have the time, I recommend spending a few hours at the track to learn a little about the industry and folklore.
