There were actually two battles of Saratoga in which the British and their German auxiliaries fought the Continental Army. In the two battles the British and Germans lost about 9,000 men who were killed, wounded, captured or deserted.
France decided to help the Americans
The Battle of Saratoga was fought in 2 stages. In Sep 1777 and second in Oct. British Gen John Burgoyne was marching a large force south to join Sir Wm Howe's army in the lower Hudson Valley. On 19Sep he was met by Colonial Gen Horatio Gates, and was not able to break Gate's line. That was the First Battle of Saratoga. On 7Oct, Burgoyne with a small forces attempted to scout the area for an escape route so he could continue his march south to join Howe. He was met by Colonial Gen Benedict Arnold and his army who routed them. This was the Second Battle of Saratoga. On 8Oct Burgoyne began his retreat, but Gen Howe's army had them surrounded. On 17Oct, Burgoyne formally surrendered with the provision that his troops return to Britain and not serve again in North America. The overwhelming Colonial victories at Saratoga brought European support for the Colonial cause. France recognized American Independence and gave military support to the cause.
Most settlements had a "Race Street" that was a long, flat stretch, suitable for racing horses down. By 1832, Lexington and Louisville both boasted mile-long racetracks. However, the Louisville track, the Oakland Race Course, eventually shut down due to an inconvenient location. Its successor, the Woodlawn Race Course, suffered the same problem. 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.
