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.
