Lincoln Race Course

Jockey Sam Padilla, No. 1, keeps "Cresco Playboy" along the inside rail on the way to a win at Lincoln Race Course at State Fair Park in 2010. On Friday, Legacy Downs will host the first full horse race in Lincoln since the track at State Fair Park closed in 2012.

A row of horse stalls can be seen in the first open-air horse stable constructed at the Legacy Downs race course. Lynne McNally, chief executive officer of the Nebraska Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, said there are plans to build seven stables that will each contain 60 horse stalls and several tack rooms.

Past races at the The Lincoln Race Course at 7055 S. First St. — now called Legacy Downs — have been one-furlong races with no more than four horses competing. On Friday, the new ⅞-mile oval will host its first real races, with four scheduled for Friday and five on Saturday.
