Churchill Downs, whose parent company owns the land of the defunct Arlington Park racetrack, originally planned to run the Secretariat Stakes in 2022,[1] but the race was not run due to issues with the Churchill Downs turf course.[2] The 2023 race will be run at Churchill-owned Colonial Downs in Virginia.[3]
