LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The backside at Churchill Downs was buzzing with activity Tuesday morning as horses starting arriving ahead of Kentucky Derby season.
The backside always closes for several months so crews can clean and make renovations. It recently reopened from its winter break, and more than 1,400 horses will be stabled at the backside leading up to Derby.
