I used to live in Glasgow, Kentucky and went to Dueling Grounds/Kentucky Downs several times in the 90's. The track is located on a farm on the Kentucky-Tennessee border where duels occurred in the 1800's. Dueling was illegal in Tennessee, but not in Kentucky. Sam Houston allegedly took part in a duel there.
The track was purchased by Turfway and CD in 1997. They changed the name to Kentucky Downs.
