Not since Colonel Matt Winn has there ever been a person so associated as the face of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby than John Asher. He will be greatly missed by so many.
Please share your John Asher memories with us.
Cody's presence touched and inspired us all. Our deepest sympathies are with the Dorman family along with our gratitude for the opportunity to witness the strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit they've shared with the horse racing community and beyond. ❤️

We are extremely sadden by the loss of a member of our Churchill Downs family. Shantel Lanerie, beloved wife of jockey Corey Lanerie, has passed away at age 42. Our thoughts and prayers are with Corey, Brittlyn and their family.
A special tribute to an incredible person -- Central Avenue between 4th and Taylor Blvd. is now officially John S. Asher Way!
If you happen to be passing by the signs this week, stop and take a photo and share them with us.
Churchill Downs, members of the jockey colony and horsemen, along with family and friends, paid tribute to the late jockey Miguel Mena by gathering for a moment of silence❤️
The Twin Spires glow green — the color of compassion, empathy and renewal. In unity with other Kentucky landmarks, a nightly reminder that we are all in this together.
