Churchill Downs was built by Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., who was inspired by the European horse racing tracks he visited. The racetrack opened on May 17, 1875, and has since become famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby. Clark's vision and efforts in establishing the venue were pivotal in shaping American thoroughbred racing.
Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. organized the Louisville Jockey Club to raise money for quality racing facilities. This led to land being provided by the Churchill family, and the first derby being run in the month of May, 1875. See link:
That he had the resources, that he knew what he was doing, and that he saw the potential for thoroughbred horse racing in the area may have been the reasons that led Colonel Meriwether Lewis Jr [January 27, 1846 - April 22, 1899] to set the groundwork for the subsequent Kentucky Derby. Clark was the grandson of William Clark [August 1, 1770 - September 1, 1838] of the [Meriwether] Lewis and Clark Expedition into the territory of the Louisiana Purchase.So the Colonel had the necessary connections and the resources. For example, he obtained the land for the subsequent Churchill Downs racetrack from his relatives, John and Henry Churchill.Additionally, Clark knew exactly what he was doing. Through his mother, Abigail Prather Churchill, he was descended from one of Kentucky's 'first families'. His ancestors had been in the subsequent Louisville area since 1787. Clark became knowledgeable in the area's wildlife and in horse riding. Additionally, he was acquainted with running of the world-famous Epsom Derby of England and Grand Prix de Paris of France's Jockey Club.Therefore, Clark knew what his beloved homeland was capable of. Specifically, he drew on the wide reputation of the Kentucky Bluegrass region as the source of superior racehorses from the time of the earliest European settlements.
