Just outside the gates of Churchill Downs, Nick and Jared Taylor are waving their arms trying to lure drivers into their yard on Wizard Avenue. They idly chat about which horses they’re going to bet on, only pausing their speculations to shout “Place to park!” as cars pass.
Nick said their family has been selling these spots in the yard of a rental property since the early ‘70s, when they went for just 50 cents. Now, they’re quite a bit more expensive.
