My Top 5 Horse Racing Tracks
By: Richard Bleuze
Horse racing is one of the most popular spectator sports in the United States, there are countless horse racing tracks to be found all over the country. However, there are a handful that the general public would consider to be the best. Below are the top 5 horse racing tracks in United States in my opinion today.
Churchill Downs
This horse racing track is the best in the country today in my opinion. This horse racing track is well known for being the annual host of the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby was first held in 1875, the same year that the horse racing track was opened at Churchill Downs. Aside from the popular Kentucky Derby, the Breeders’ Cup has been held at Churchill Downs six times already, the most recent one being in 2006.
Santa Anita
This horse racing track is just 1/2 mile from my office in Arcadia, California. In addition to great horse racing events, Santa Anita also offers some of the best views during the autumn and winter racing season. This is my second best favorite horse racing track. This track went into operation in 1934 and is a proud host to the Santa Anita Derby and the Santa Anita Handicap. It has a one mile dirt track with an inside turf track measuring 9/10s of a mile. It also has a unique hillside turf course which crosses the dirt, one of the few in existence in the US.
Belmont Park
Located in Elmont, New York in Nassau County on Long Island, New York. This thoroughbred racing facility features the longest dirt track in thoroughbred racing - 11/2 miles long. This horse racing track opened in May 4, 1905, Belmont Park is known all over the world as the home of the Belmont Stakes which is the third leg of the Triple Crown.
Hollywood Park
This horse racing track is located in Inglewood, California and was opened in 1938 by the Hollywood Turf Club. It was also host to the first Breeders’ Cup in 1984. There is a one and one-eighth mile dirt track and a one mile turf track.
Saratoga
Located in Saratoga Springs, New York, this race course opened in 1863. A year later, a tradition was started with the first Travers Stakes.
