This dataset contains polygons that represent and identify the horse tracks at Keeneland, the Red Mile, and the Kentucky Horse Park. The dataset was heads-up digitized and intended to only be used as a cartographic element on LFUCG GIS maps and products. The dataset is updated as discrepancies with current aerial photographs are discovered.

As part of the basemap data layers, the horse race track boundary map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).
