Miles Park
Miles Park was an American horse racing track located in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. The track served as the "minor leagues" for many jockeys who later went on to the larger, more famous Kentucky tracks. The biggest event was the annual Junior Derby.
Miles Park started life as Fairgrounds Speedway, a harness racing track in 1956, but was converted to thoroughbred racing and renamed Miles Park two years later, after being acquired by oilman and horseman General J. Fred Miles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miles Park - Home of the Junior Derby ! )〕〔(Pat on the Back, Sports Illustrated, Aug 1956 )〕 The track struggled after a fire in May 1964 killed 26 thoroughbreds and burned down 13 barns.〔(Toll At Miles Park May Rise, Kentucky New Era, May 19, 1964 )〕
The track was renamed Commonwealth Race Course after being sold in 1974 and ran American Quarter Horse meets for two years before burning in 1978 and closing permanently.〔(Fire Damages Race Track, Gadsden Times, 5 June 1978 )〕
