Derivation of name Churchill Downs?
In 1875, the Louisville Jockey Club and Driving Association opened. Although the new racetrack was run by Lutie Clark, and had been originally envisioned by him, it was financially supported by Henry and John Churchill. Clark was not a well-liked man, and locals began to derisively refer to the racetrack as "Churchill's downs," as a way to poke fun at Clark and remind him who was really in charge of the track. In 1883, the press began to use the name, and Churchill Downs is probably the most famous racetrack in the United States today.
