Ellis Park is in Henderson, Kentucky. We handicap Thoroughbred racing only. This guide does not share statistics yet; we will add numbers from our race chart database once we have enough Ellis Park charts for them to mean something.
The Track Itself
Ellis Park runs a summer meet that sits between Churchill Downs and the fall Kentucky season. It races on dirt and turf and draws a mix of Kentucky-circuit horses and shippers from the Midwest.
Reading the Shippers
Because Ellis sits between circuits, many fields mix horses dropping in from Churchill with horses moving up from smaller Midwest tracks. Sorting out which form is stronger is often the key to a race.
Summer Weather
Summer storms can take races off the turf and change how the dirt plays. Check the scratches and surface changes before you bet.
The Takeaway
At Ellis, compare where each horse has been racing before you compare their numbers.
