keeneland

Nothing like it in the state or anywhere, a must do, beautiful property, horses, much history, all mixed in, pick a horse at the paddock, place a wager and cheer him to victory, a blast. I've been here many times as well as the Derby. Keeneland is, to me, what a track should be. Daylight and dark trying to compare it to Churchhill, but both are worth doing and judge for yourself. I prefer the spring meet, but anytime the horses are running is fun. You'll not find more fun in KY for the price, parking in the fields is free, gate fees nominal, can wage as little or as much as you can afford to lose (or win if you're lucky). You won't be disappointed with Keeneland.

There are three things you must do to experience Lexington; sample the bourbon, go to a Kentucky basketball game, and spend a day a Keeneland. I don't think there could be a more beautiful setting. Louisville has the Derby, but the surroundings of Churchill Downs can never compare to the beautiful bluegrass horse country that surround Keeneland. One of the great things about spending the day at the track, is that the spacing of the races affords you plenty of opportunity to explore at your leisure and still make it back in time to catch another race. Do yourself a favor. Explore. Head out to the paddock and watch the horses, the owners, the grooms. Walk right up to the rail. What the races from different places. There is so much to see. BONUS: The bar at the very end of the grandstand, furthest from the entrance has some great bartenders. We can't wait to go back.

We love everything about Keeneland. It gets really crowded, but it is an amazing place. I love the gift shop, a little pricey, but fun to browse.

Lexington waits all winter for spring, but more important to them than the warmer weather, is the opening of Keeneland. For a few Dollars entry fee you get to be up close with the beautiful thoroughbreds!

Wonderful afternoon at Keeneland with our 2 college ages kids - exciting to see horse racing up close. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Lexington

Lexington is the horse capital of the world and nothing says it better than Keeneland. This is so much more than a beautiful racetrack. They have wonderful dining, scenery, history, gifts, etc. It's the perfect day with family and friends. A must stop and visit for everyone who comes to Lexington.

Beautiful park-like setting with terrific viewing options for the races. Great food choices, just an all around great experice.

More sophisticated, much more beautiful, and less expensive than its in-state rival track. Try the burgoo and bread pudding while you're there too. Even the beef hot dogs taste far better there than any other place.

If you are not a horse racing fan, you will be after visiting Keeneland! The track and clubhouse are stunning and very easy to move around in. Parking is very efficient and is actually part of the experience. We have attended the fall meet for the last 6 years. The quality of the horses always provide exciting races and give you a thrilling adrenaline rush! This is a historic track and make it easy to get up close to the horses in an almost park like setting. Don't miss this if you are in Kentucky when it is open!

The natural beauty at Keeneland, the closeness of the paddock, the fun of being around horse lovers is a wonderful experience everyone should experience. This is a month before the Derby.

Twice a year this is the happening place to be. Lots of people, beautiful horses, the excitement of betting and beautiful weather makes this a "no lose" experience.

Just outside of Lexington, Kentucky, nestled in the rolling hill of the Blue Grass. This is a track for the casual racing fan and the aficionado! The paddock area is especially beautiful and intimate. You can almost reach out and touch the horses. If you shy away from large crowds visit during the middle of the week. If you like the added excitement of a large crowd, visit on the weekends. This is the premiere venue to see Thoroughbread racing at its finest!

Keeneland has always been a destination for me and my friends for 20 years now. The atmosphere is great, the scenery is spectacular and they have food and alcoholic beverages. I try to go at least once in both the Spring and Fall meets.

Keeneland race meet is held April and October. The racing fans tailgate party before, during , and after the races. Most dress up in dresses, suits, and ties. Lots of fun for the experienced bettor and for the first timer.

It's a great venue to visit. Fun to see all the people and the buffet was good with a good variety of food.
