Ellis Park was built by the Green River Jockey Club in 1922. The race track was first named after the famous race starter A. B. Barrett Dade, a director and one of the organizers of the Green River Jockey Club. In 1925 James C. Ellis purchased the track. Note that the name of the track wasn’t changed until 1954, nearly 30 years after James Ellis bought it.
