This is a really nice track . Very clean and plenty of employees to assist with questions and directions. The grounds are well kept. Bathrooms and VERY clean . Plenty of betting windows.
Plenty of parking on the grounds . Lots of walking will be required though. Most exciting in April before the Kentucky Derby. Most beautiful during the Fall Meet in October. Very beautiful setting.
Every morning from 6-10 come in and watch the jockeys training and walk around soaking in the culture! Then grab a nice cheap breakfast at the track kitchen !
Wear your Sunday best. $5 cash to roll in. If you see a woman serving drinks named April, ask for "The April". Cash only for most things. Super fun. BYO drink in the parking lot and on the shuttle.
Beware - unless you're in the clubhouse, it's cash only all over for food and drinks! But, try the smartphone app for stats and betting! A+ to the mobile design team!
Men, get fancy . Wear a tie and jacket . Always order Woodford Reserve .
An essential visit. Get here early in the morning to watch the horses train and then grab breakfast onsite with the jockeys and trainers .
Great atmosphere. I was doing a fashion shoot for Tops magazine ad on a beautiful but chilly day.
Every Saturday morning during the race meets, Keeneland hosts Breakfast with the Works from 7:00 AM until 8:30 AM. Enjoy a hot breakfast at the track kitchen and watch the workouts.
Try the taco salad from the Blue Cantina, it's really good. Eat the shell!!
Had a great time at Bluegrass Stakes Day! Be sure to visit the Sports Bar for a cocktail !
Wide open race track at the Keeneland in Lexington Kentucky. Much better view then the Church hill Downs.
Great food, excellent service by all staff , a must see when in season
One of the best tracks in the country ...and even without live racing...no better place in Derby Day!
It's a ghost town on off-days in the late afternoon. You are free to explore the grounds then.
Bourbon Bread Pudding from Mane Street Deli is a must...thank me later!
Come here as early as you can, or you will have problems with the traffic in the parking area.
Get there early, use preferred parking .
Sunglasses are a good idea regardless of the weather due to the "scenery!"
Come at 7 am for the horse workout. Free. No crowds. Amazing horses!
Try the Pumpkin Cheesecake - OMG! So good. (via @Foodspotting)
During the race season, Breakfast with the Works offers a chance to watch morning workouts while enjoying a hearty breakfast .
On Tuesdays they have the running of the jockeys and give the horses a day off.
If you want to experience a horse race - come here ... .)
A must visit in the Spring!
Classic. The perfect track .
Racing is great, but come for breakfast at the track kitchen to get the behind the scenes experience.
Luckily over in Lexington, there is one track that has kept its charm and gentility. Keeneland racecourse looks more like a refined country club and its rules and regulations reflect that. Read more
Great day at the races!
For best luck on the day, start with a Bloody Mary at Clockers Bar .
On Thursdays the horses run clockwise.
Horse racing is a whiter sport than golf . Who would have thought?
Beer and Horses, the best place to be is at Keeneland during the Spring and Fall. Read more
