Some amazing pictures from Churchill Downs

| | Comments (2) |

Here's what six inches of rain in about an hour's time will do to a race track. A torrential rainstorm in the Louisville, Ky. area early Tuesday morning left huge portions of the dirt and turf courses at Churchill Downs under water, along with other areas of the track. About 30 to 35 horses had to be evaculated from two barns when water rose in the two structures. Luckily, no injuries to either humans or horses were reported:
