The current site of the Coldstream Research Campus has historical significance. It was once a famous horse farm owned by Hal Price McGrath and had strong ties to thoroughbred horse racing. In fact, in 1875, a horse named Aristides was raised on this site. Aristides won the very first Kentucky Derby.[12]
