Racing Partnerships that Define Excellence
Discover a world where passion for thoroughbred racing meets the thrill of high-stakes betting. At Louisville Thoroughbred Society, our commitment to excellence drives us to forge exclusive racing partnerships and deliver an unparalleled betting experience, all set against the backdrop of Louisville’s storied racing legacy.
Insider Handicapping Panels
Gain the edge from those who know the sport best. Our frequent handicapping panels feature seasoned experts and industry insiders offering in-depth betting advice. Our Derby panel even predicted the winner — see why our members never bet blind.
On-Site Wagering with Real-Time Feeds
Feel the adrenaline of the track without ever leaving your seat. Our on-site Pari-Mutuel machines allow you to place live wagers on the nation’s premier races, with real-time feeds from Churchill Downs, Saratoga, Del Mar, and other iconic racetracks. Members can also cash out winning tickets on-site at our NRT machine — no need to hold onto a voucher or make a separate trip to Churchill.
Premier Sports Betting Lounge
LTS is one of the few brick-and-mortar locations in Louisville offering legal sports betting. With Churchill Downs no longer in the game, we’ve become the go-to destination for members who want to bet on everything from horse racing to football, basketball, and beyond — all in an upscale, private setting.
Mingle with Racing’s Inner Circle
At the Louisville Thoroughbred Society, you’re not just a spectator — you’re part of the industry. Many of our members are horse owners, trainers, and racing insiders. Whether you’re networking, learning, or simply enjoying a drink among fellow enthusiasts, LTS puts you at the heart of thoroughbred culture.
At Louisville Thoroughbred Society, we honor the legacy of horse racing with a dedication to preserving its storied traditions. Our racing partners are more than LTS members—they are part of a broader community that cherishes the heritage, skill, and competitive spirit that has made thoroughbred racing a revered sport for generations. This shared passion for excellence is the cornerstone of every partnership we nurture.
Networking and Social Opportunities
Racing and betting are as much about the community as they are about the sport. Connect with like-minded individuals at our Society-programmed events, where the thrill of the races blends with opportunities to network with industry leaders, fellow enthusiasts, and potential partners for your next big bet. These events create lasting relationships and open doors to a wealth of insights and success stories within the racing world.
