Last Thursday night was the third and final "Downs After Dark" of the season, a trio of night races hosted at Churchill Downs. With the recent troubles of the Horse Racing industry in Kentucky and with a failed attempt to add slot machines to raise revenue, it seems that night racing is just what Churchill Downs needed. Over the course of 3 night races that began on June 19th, "Downs After Dark" has drawn almost 90,000 spectators in an almost Derby-like atmosphere. The conclusion on Thursday alone drew the biggest crowd Churchill Downs has ever seen outside of the Derby, Oaks and Breeders Cup with over 33,000 visitors. The large crowds were helped with much milder weather compared the steamy weather that fans experienced during the previous nights.

The final night included more than just horse racing. On the eve of the 4th of July weekend, the paddock area was decorated in festive red, white and blue and featured a laser light show to concluded the amazing evening. All military personnel were able to enjoy the night free of charge and one member took his final oath of re-enlistment in the winners circle earlier in the night.

The first "Kids Night Out" event was also a success as it gave parents the chance to come out and enjoy the night without having to find a babysitter. Teaming with Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby Museum offered child care services that featured pony rides and other entertainment for only $25 per child.

While there were a few problems handling the unexpected turnout the first night, Churchill Downs had adjusted accordingly the following two nights on June 26th and July 2^nd and night racing has been a big success that will surely return for the fall meet.

Last Friday, for the first time in track history, Church Downs turned on the lights and hosted an evening of night racing. Downs after Dark turned out to be a huge success for the troubling Churchill Downs as roughly 28,000 spectators came out to endure the 90 degree heat and the long concession lines to take in the Derby-like atmosphere. While the long concession lines were an issue that they will need to work on for future night races, the night overall drew more than twice as many people as they were hoping for and even brought in more fans than a couple of Major League Ballparks.

The night featured 11 races on the card with the first post at 6pm. It took seven races before the "after dark" finally kicked in but it was well worth the wait as the crowd screamed in excitement when Robby Albarado rode favorite Final Copy to a win in the first ever race under the lights in the 8th race. The historic event concluded late into the night after 3 more posts and while there were a couple of hiccups, Downs After Dark may be just what Churchill needs to get back on its feet.

If you missed the first ever "Downs After Dark", Churchill Downs will be hosting two more night races on Friday June 26th and Thursday July 2nd. Gates open at 4pm with the first post at 6pm. Admission is $6.

There is only one more week until Father's Day (June 21st) and if you still have not found that perfect gift for your equestrian fan, you may want to make your way down to Parallel 38.

Produced by Vineyard Vines, the necktie comes in royal blue, red, green and pink and features a repeating pattern of a horseshoe and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games logo. Each necktie sells for $95 with $10 benefiting the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation.
