Best Answer

At Churchill Downs the Kentucky Derby was and still is supposed to be held. The racetrack is located in Louisville, Kentucky. It's located on the former grounds of the Louisville Jockey Club. That was the historic, world-famous racetrack's original name. It wasn't until 1886 that the location started being called by its present name.
