Tailgaters are still welcome in the same location on the new pavement with only a few changes. Tents cannot be staked, but must be secured if used. Kentucky Downs will provide a limited number of weighted buckets tents can tie to and guests can secure tents to their vehicles. Kentucky Downs Security Team reserves the right to disallow use of tents not properly secured for safety reasons. The tent where the mobile tellers are located remains for 2026. All tailgating guests are welcome to seek shade under the tent as always.

Chairs and coolers are allowed in the Tailgating and General Admission areas. Tents must be secured (but not staked in the pavement) and are not allowed in the row closest to the track. Event security reserves the right to check for proper ballasting and remove the tent if not properly secured to avoid dangerous situations around the horses.
