On the Grid : Keeneland

"There’s more to horse racing than the Kentucky Derby. If you’re lucky enough to be here during the two months out of the year in Fall and Spring when the races are running you can head to the track to bet on some the best thoroughbred racing in the world, eat Kentucky burgoo, and people watch. No matter what time of year, the stunning and historic track is worth a visit. Get up early to watch some of the most impressive thoroughbreds in racing get in their morning workout - it’s free and open to the public year round. No big hats required." - Bullhorn

An icon of Bluegrass culture where morning training, the Track Kitchen, and year-round guided tours reveal racing’s inner rhythms. Frequently recommended by national travel writers and Southern Living, and central to Lexington’s identity.
