Horse Racing at Turfway Park

Turfway Park is a thoroughbred racetrack located in Florence, Kentucky that offers live racing in the winter and early spring.

The track hosts the Vinery Racing Spiral Stakes, created by former general manager John Battaglia in 1972 as the Spiral Stakes. Battaglia envisioned a race from which 3-year-olds would "spiral up" to the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland and then to the Kentucky Derby.

Turfway's track condition is always officially listed as "fast," no matter the weather conditions.
