The Turfway Park grandstand was demolished via machinery as opposed to implosion, which allowed training activities to continue after the last live races were held in March 2020.

The revamp of the Turfway Park horse racing track in Florence, Ky., began on April 23, 2020, when
O Rourke Wrecking Company Inc. crews began the demolition of the race track s grandstand, a multi-million-dollar job that was completed last August.
Opened in 1959, Turfway Park is replacing the grandstand with a new Historical Horse Racing (HHR) facility that will house up to 1,500 terminals and provide a large entertainment venue to watch the live thoroughbred horse racing and accommodate large-scale functions during the rest of the year.
