Kentucky Photo Gallery

If you love horses, you'll love the Kentucky Photo Gallery. These are my vacation photos from Louisville and Lexington, Ky. and include Churchill Downs and Keeneland Race Track, plus the Buffalo Trace Distillery.


Churchill Downs Race Track

The famed twin spires of Churchill Downs. This was my first visit to the racetrack, and it really is a very lovely old facility. A lot of history here!


No, it's not the Derby, but we were able to see a race while there. We were there in July, during the last week of the racing season at Churchill Downs. I don't think this was the winner of the race, but I loved taking a photo of a horse crossing the finish line!


In a garden inside the track is this lovely sculpture of Aristide, the first Kentucky Derby winner.


Before the race, the horses head to the track from the paddock area.



Keeneland Race Track

The stables at Keeneland Race Track. Keeneland's racing season was over, so we didn't see any races there. There are at least 4 major racetracks in Kentucky, each with a different racing season, so there is racing going on somewhere in Kentucky all year long!


Buffalo Trace Distillery

There are several bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, of course. Buffalo Trace Distillery is in Frankfort, between Louisville and Lexington. The distillery gets its name from the paths followed by buffalo as they traveled through the area.


The copper boiler and other equipment inside the distillery.
