Description

A heart-pounding race thru history!

The thunder and excitement of the race has long drawn guests to the Fair Grounds, where mythical horses together with Black Gold, Whirlaway, and Risen Star have raced to victory. The history of certainly one of The united states’s oldest Thoroughbred horse-racing tracks is chronicled here thru interviews, rare images, and archival lithographs. Since 1872, the New Orleans Fair Grounds has been home to exhibitions, boxing matches, baseball games, or even special events like ostrich racing. Now owned by Churchill Downs, Inc., the Fair Grounds has withstood hurricanes, fire, and bankruptcy and stands lately as a colourful sports and festival venue in a historic New Orleans neighborhood.
