Fan Guide · The Red Mile
Harness racing and festivals in horse country
The Red Mile, a historic harness-racing track dating to 1875, is one of the fastest trotting tracks in the world and now also hosts the Railbird Festival — set in Lexington, the self-styled Horse Capital of the World in the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass.
Lexington pairs it with horse farms, bourbon distilleries and rolling green country.
Below are the Lexington stays, restaurants and bars fans use around the Red Mile.
Fan tip: Pair a visit with a horse-farm tour and the Bourbon Trail — quintessential Bluegrass Kentucky.
