John F.

HALL OF FAME These goals will be accomplished through a larger than life cinematic experience that will inspire visitors’ emotional engagement with the story — a thrilling exploration of the question, "What does it take to be among the greatest of the greats, to be a member of the National Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame?". The show will unfold as progressively larger screens descend into the middle of the space, building to the moment when full 360° projections surround the audience, literally placing the visitor in the middle of the story. As the film closes, large-scale monitors placed around the room come to life with portraits of Hall of Famers. Here, visitors come eye-to-eye with every inductee and can delve deeply into stories about some of the most Nominating Committee famous horses and individuals in the sport. Edward L.

    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.
