The Ellis Park Race Course, originally Dade Park, was built in 1922 by the Green River Jockey Club. The race track was first named after the famous race starter A. B. Barrett Dade, a director and one of the organizers of the Green River Jockey Club.
Although the course was planned and built for Thoroughbreds, its opening race was a Grand Circuit Harness meet on Tuesday, October 19, 1922. On November 18, 1922, the gates opened for the first Thoroughbred meet. Purses for the entire opening meet shaded $62,000.
Times and values, of course, have changed since the days of the old carousel paddock, when the starting gate was pulled by mules, horses came and went by train, fans arrived by ferryboat, the judges' stand was adjacent to the finish line, and odds were calculated by hand. But as Ellis Park advances into the 21st century, the track - despite five changes of ownership, barn fires, floods, and a tornado - maintains the warmth, charm, and simplicity associated with its past.
