Credentials Required

Stable-area access during Kentucky Derby week is restricted to individuals credentialed by Churchill Downs and to horsemen and racetrack workers with valid Kentucky Racing Licenses or Churchill Downs-issued stable-area access passes. Please present your Churchill Downs-issued credential or access pass or Kentucky Racing License for admission to the Churchill Downs stable area via the security check points at Gate 5 or Gate 10.

On Kentucky Derby Day (May 1) and Kentucky Oaks Day (April 30) you must have a Churchill Downs-issued credential in order to enter the stable area. Kentucky Racing Licenses alone are not valid for entry into the stable on Derby and Oaks Day.

If you are visiting a horsemen stabled at Churchill Downs Derby weekend, please make arrangements with your host to secure stable-area access.
