Turfway Park Racing & Gaming, which has been ahead of the curve in innovative approaches to the guest experience, recently upped the game once more. Now owned by Churchill Downs, the race track turned to Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series to provide increased flexibility while maintaining ultra-low latency across large facilities.
Established in 1959, Turfway Park introduced innovations in the mid-1960s, such as winter and night racing, and later became the first track to introduce simulcast wagering. Churchill Downs acquired the location in October 2019, and quickly announced a $148 million renovation of the racetrack. The reconstruction was part of Churchill Downs’ ongoing efforts to strengthen and bring innovations to Kentucky’s landmark horse racing industry.
