Riders Up

UPDATE: This exhibit is undergoing a major upgrade! The NEW Riders Up exhibit is opening April 2024! Stay tuned for new photos and make sure to check it out in person!

A popular exhibit among all ages, Riders Up provides the ultimate Kentucky Derby experience by competing in a simulated horse race and testing your skills as a jockey. You can choose from three different horse types (frontrunner, stalker and closer) as well as experience Churchill Downs across different eras (from 1875 to the modern day) and varied weather conditions.
