About the company

Turfway Park is an American horse racing track located just outside the city limits to the north of Florence, Kentucky about 10 miles (16 km) south of the Ohio River at Cincinnati. The track conducts live Thoroughbred hose racing during two meets each year—Holiday (December), and Winter/Spring (January to late March/early April)—and offers year-round simulcast wagering from tracks across the continent.

Turfway Park is a member of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, is fully accredited by the NTRA Safety & Integrity Alliance and supports the NTRA Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.

Turfway opened Aug 27, 1959, as Latonia, a nod to the original Latonia that ran 1883-1939. Renamed in 1986, it has been owned by Churchill Downs Inc. since October 2019.
