The museum consists of two floors of exhibit space, including a 360-degree theater that shows the HD film The Greatest Race.

Through the film and exhibits, visitors can learn what goes into the breeding and training of a young foal and the path it takes to the Kentucky Derby's winner circle.

Guided tours of Churchill Downs' barn and infield areas, jockeys' quarters, "millionaires row" and press box are also offered.

The museum has arranged for the reburial on its grounds of five past Derby winners whose original graves were threatened by land development.

Owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson chose to bury his remains in a location where his admirers would not have to pay an admission fee.
