Horse racing season in the United States is just around the corner. The U.S. has long been a hotspot for this sport which continues to grow in popularity thanks to its relaxed vibe and its status as a social event. If you have ever thought about checking out the American horse racing scene, don’t skip these three fantastic venues.

Louisville, Kentucky’s Churchill Grounds is the home of the Kentucky Derby and probably the most famous horse racing venue on Earth. The Derby typically packs in nearly 175,000 people in late spring, while other races throughout the year offer other opportunities to experience this park.
Pimlico Race Course
Baltimore, Maryland hosts the Pimlico Race Course, another Triple Crown venue in which the Preakness Stakes takes place every year. Hosting around two dozen events per year, the event combines music, racing, and drinks.
