This looks AWESOME 💯 Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

This is why I always laugh when poor people say racing is dying, when in reality it’s poor people that are dying and have no future it’s the wealthy and capitalism that will always be enjoying 200 million on a paddock? C’mon

Very nice. BUT I really hate the astroturf inside the Paddock. Really really HATE it. If not using natural grass, then some sort of paving would have been better.

Incredible. Maybe Churchill can figure out how to grow grass for their turf course too

What about the seats for us hou poloi? Is regular seating changed? How goes the infield? Have you thought about putting grass terraces in the infield??!!! Each lawn could be 2 feet higher than the one below it, so spectators could see the race some? I was in the infield when Tomy Lee won. I was ten. I barely caught a glimpse of brown fur. It was very disappointing to remember it.

Respectfully, no facility that requires the horses and horsemen to walk on the track to get from the barns to the paddock before the race is premier.

@gretafields4706 Ай бұрын

This may be important. I read that one track in England requires horses to walk a mile just to reach the gate. The horses are nervous and lathering up, tiring early.

I guess I don’t like change because I hate this! I’m sure it’s great for super crowded days like Derby, but it’s sad for the regular days of the week when you could just grab a picnic table with friends right by the horses.

That’s how they’re able to charge high prices during big meets. SMH

What is the cost to get into the common area for a common person?

@marieneu264 Ай бұрын

Last year people with infield tickets were no longer to visit the paddock. They wanted to keep those infield people separate!

This is terribly wrong.

@FoolishPrankster Ай бұрын

Nice, but it will be empty most the time.

And they're off and coming down the stretch it is Chateaugay.

you got to be rich to go to the oaks or derby any more

@bigstick6943 Ай бұрын

Went to the oaks last year for $250 a ticket literally on the rail in section 113. All drinks and food included. Hotel across the bridge in southern Indiana for around 150. So I agree its an expensive day, but not horrible. Derby day, that is expensive.

My only complaint about Churchill Downs is when you are in the grandstand, you have to look at UL's ugly football stadium. I wish there was some way they could block the view of that monstrosity from the grandstand. Although, I will add that we haven't lost there since 2014.

A $200,000,000 paddock with no trees for shade. Saratoga is better.

I don’t see that it does anything to enhance the experience for the horses or their safety and welfare. All I see here is luxury for the exceptionally wealthy humans. Talk about emphasizing class disparity. Sickening.

@gretafields4706 Ай бұрын

I don't remember seeing much greenery when I was there as a child. It was all concrete walking in, urban. Maybe they could squeeze a few trees in, build a HILL in the infield so people can see the race with binoculars
