From www.theredmile.com:
Known for its fast, red clay and one-mile track, The Red Mile is the second oldest harness track in the world. For over 130 years, harness racing’s elite has converged on The Red Mile to stage some of the greatest equine battles in history.
In 2004, the Red Mile hosted its inaugural Quarter Horse meet, which marked the first time that breed has raced in the Bluegrass in more than a decade.
In addition to each year's showcase horse racing, The Red Mile simulcasts 365 days a year and hosts numerous horse sales, wedding receptions, holiday parties, concerts, circuses, reunions, corporate meetings and many more events.
