Oak Grove, KY — Churchill Downs Incorporated, in partnership with Keeneland, will break ground Tuesday (April 9) at 10 a.m. (CDT) on a $150 million, state-of-the-art, live and historical racing venue in Oak Grove.

The facility will feature up to 1,500 historical racing machines beginning in 2020; a 125-room hotel; a 1,200-person seated capacity grandstand and event space for indoor events; a 3,000-person capacity outdoor amphitheater and stage; and a state-of-the-art equestrian center including indoor and outdoor arenas.

Last December, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission awarded a license to CDI and Keeneland for 12 live Standardbred racing dates beginning in October 2019 at the venue.
