HOURS:

September - May:   Tues-Sun 2-5pm. (weather permitting)

I was listening to Cot Campbell speaking at a recent event and one of the things he said really got my attention.  He was saying that every year 38,000 horses are born ----and three years later 20 of them are good enough to make it to The Kentucky Derby.   I just thought that was very interesting.  

Enjoy the Hall of Fame!     www.aikenracinghalloffame.com
