Champions' Cemetery
The Museum has arranged for the reburial on its grounds of four past Derby winners whose original graves were threatened by land development. The past champions now interred here are:
- Brokers Tip (1938-1953)
- Carry Back (1958-1983)
- Sunny's Halo (1980-2003)
- Swaps (1952-1972)
The 2006 Derby winner Barbaro (2003-2007) is interred just outside an entrance to Churchill Downs, and also outside the Museum. Barbaro's owners chose to bury his remains in a location where his admirers would not have to pay an admission fee.
