A Tradition Reborn: From Old Latonia Race Track to Turfway Park Racing and Gaming -- A 140-year History!
Enjoy nearly 300 pages of history and more than 200 photos from the original Latonia Race Track, opened in 1883, to the closing of the old Turfway Park and the opening of Turfway Park Racing and Gaming. Learn about when the Latonia Derby was the big event in horse racing, not the Kentucky Derby. Learn about famous Kentucky Derby entries that first raced here, significant jockeys, trainers, and owners, and the many "firsts" that made the Northern Kentucky property nationally-known. The first two-dollar bet, the first Trifecta, the first Racebook, and more. Read how Pete Rose's gambling troubles started at Turfway Park.
