About Keeneland

Keeneland is a Thoroughbred race course and auction house founded in 1936 on farmland west of Lexington, and a National Historic Landmark. The landscaped grounds are open to the public every day, so you can watch morning workouts trackside, eat at the Track Kitchen and browse the Keeneland Shop. Live racing runs in April and October, and guided tours go behind the scenes of the racing and sales operations. The Keeneland Library, established in 1939, holds a large Thoroughbred archive.
