Turfway Park - Florence, KY - Horse Racing Tracks on Waymarking.com

Turfway Park was opened in August 1959 under the Latonia Race Course name. In 1986 the track was bought by Jerry Carrol, who renovated it and renamed it Turfway Park. Carroll sold the property in 1999 to Harrah's Entertainment, GTECH, and the Keeneland Association. In 2005, GTECH sold its interest to the two remaining partners.

There are 3 meets annually. A Holiday Meet in December, a winter/spring meet from Jan 1 to Apr 2 and a fall meet from Sep 9 to Oct 8.

Admission is free for all meets except during the Lands End Stakes. The day I was there it was between meets.
