This 2.5 acre park dedicated to the Thoroughbred industry contains seven life-size and lifelike bronze racehorses streaking toward the finish line, while broodmares, foals and the great stallion Lexington graze in a nearby field. All sculptures were created by celebrated artist Gwen Reardon. 42 plaques honoring historic figures in the industry are placed along winding walkways. Thoroughbred Park is a great spot to wander and to get some great photos!
