New Victory Run Project to debut for the 2028 Kentucky Derby
Victory Run will replace uncovered, ground-level box seats and dated dining areas with a new premium hospitality and seating offering.
Victory Run
This new four-story structure features a variety of premium hospitality experiences with tremendous views of the finish line of the racetrack, and will include private suites, indoor and outdoor dining, and covered box seating. The project will replace approximately 6,400 existing seats with premium seating for approximately 7,800 guests.
CDI anticipates construction of Victory Run will begin following the 2026 Kentucky Derby and will be completed by the 2028 Kentucky Derby. CDI plans to offer an interim upgraded seating experience in this area with temporary seating and enhanced amenities for the 2027 Kentucky Derby.

Infield Seating Upgrades to debut for the 2027 Kentucky Derby
CDI announces the Infield Seating Upgrade will create additional temporary seating offerings in the Infield and will expand opportunities for sponsorship activations. We will be redeveloping the infield areas on both sides of the Winners’ Pagoda which is the historic building in the infield near the finish line where the Kentucky Derby winners receive their trophies. We will be removing the tote boards so we can create new customer experiences in a very desirable area of the infield with exceptional views of the homestretch, the finish line, and the Derby winner’s trophy presentation. We are adding 1,400 temporary seats and will be testing a new infield cabana offering with 500 covered reserved seats along the turf course. We are also making underground infrastructure improvements in the first turn area of the infield to create a more level area for a sponsored music stage and new bar and lounge concepts. This project is expected to be completed by the 153rd Kentucky Derby in 2027. We will continue to evaluate long-term permanent entertainment experiences for these very highly desirable areas of the infield.
