I guess we can expect another race track designation change.

Used to go to RD every Labor Day when they ran all long and mostly turf cards. They had this cool little Dixieland Band with a really good trumpet player that roved the stands...was a fun time, fun crowd, good racing.

Unfortunate that they're changing the name..but living in KY I have high hopes for the renovation. I'd imagine it won't bode well for Turfway, though.

The name has been changed to protect the innocent bettor.

I won't know whether I like how it caters to myself as a player til they open and even though slots interest me zero I like that there will be more food options and such.They way things are setup down there with Riverbend music center right next door and the place I grew up at as a kid in the summer,Coney island(3 million gallon pool),right next to that,I can see not coming back home for possibly entire weekends!I think it's going to be great.Not enamored of the name change but it will still be my homebase for 4 months of the year.I started going to the pool and track with my godfather when I was 7 years old,next season will make 34 years.It's really a unique setup IMO.Can't wait!

I got to work at River Downs for a few years and the place was such a charming location. Used to love to walk down into the outdoor grandstand and talk to some of the guys in the bleachers. The view of the KY hills in the backdrop will still be there though. Really hoping the track will be a big success.

So much for a game of tradition.
Why don't we just rename them all Crap Track #1, Crap Track #2........
New code....WGF

Remember when Beulah Park was Darby Downs, but then when back to being Beulah Park again?
And I actually liked their unique turf course, which sadly is no longer in use.

Rastajenk works for River Downs and he said they are putting the turf course back in.From the pictures you can see the base is laid for it.
