Churchill Downs
Churchill Downs race track is a 147-acre race track in
Louisville, Kentucky. This track is known worldwide for
its yearly hosting of what is probably the most famous
horseracing event in the world "the Kentucky Derby".
There are typically two race meets (or seasons) at
Churchill Downs race track each year. The Spring Meet
and the Fall Meet. The Spring meet is normally about 3
months long while the Fall meet lasts about 1 month.
Churchill Downs, home of the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., who built Churchill Downs,
wanted his track to have a race that would rival
England's Epsom Derby. He visited England to study both
its tracks and its races then returned to Louisville
to establish the Kentucky Derby, which was first run on
May 17, 1875.
The twin spires atop the grandstands are the most
recognizable architectural feature of Churchill Downs
and are used as a symbol of the track and the Kentucky
Derby. They were designed by architect Joseph Dominic
Baldez and built in 1895.
The Downs, as it is called today, has become the world's
most legendary race track and also operates an off-track
betting and training facility called Trackside
Louisville.

The Preakness Stakes is an American Grade I

horse race for three-year-old horses, held on the
third Saturday in May each year at Pimlico Race

The
Preakness is the second and shortest leg in American
thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown and almost always
attracts the Kentucky Derby winner, some of the other
horses that ran in the Derby, and often a few horses
that did not start in the Derby. (The phrase "Triple
Crown" was not applied to this series of races until
the 1930s.) It is followed by the third leg, the
Belmont Stakes.
The Preakness has had some memorable horse race
winners with great photo finishes. Who could ever
forget horses like Northern Dancer, Secretariat,
Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Tabasco Cat, or Smarty Jones.
Pimlico Race Course is a horse racetrack in Baltimore,
Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness
Stakes.

Triple Crown Horse track
betting is a game of chance, but it is also game of
skill and expertise. The more you know, the more likely
you are to win. That's why horse wagering is often
referred to as the "Smart Man's Bet." However, developing
your own system is key.
There is no one single successful horse racing wagering
strategy, and that's a good thing! This means that even
for beginning and novice bettors, you can still fair well
with your selections as long as you find a strategy that
works for you. For many people, the process is very
personal. It becomes a combination of informational
knowledge, smart betting, and luck. Over time, though,
luck becomes less of a factor for the educated gambler and
information and smart betting techniques really take over.
The Triple Crown
The Belmont Stakes is the last leg of the run for the
Triple Crown, horse racing's greatest honor. To win the
Triple Crown, a horse must first win the Kentucky Derby,
then the Preakness Stakes, and then the Belmont Stakes.
