Fire at Turfway Park’s Muck Pit

A fire broke out at Turfway Park’s muck pit Tuesday morning, sending thick smoke into the air by Wednesday—but no one was hurt, not even the horses. Crews battled the blaze, which burned compostable organic material known for lingering heat and potential re-ignition, keeping them on scene through Thursday evening. Officials confirmed the smoke was non-toxic and operations remained unaffected, with Turfway Park and firefighters working closely to ensure safety. Though the main fire was contained by Thursday, cleanup and monitoring dragged on due to the stubborn nature of the material. Thankfully, it was an isolated incident with zero injuries.
