Lexington's thoroughbred race track, Keeneland, has 2 meets every year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Every Saturday morning during the meets they have a "Breakfast with the works". It runs from 7-8:30. If you have small children (4-10) and can get there early--there are lots of fun activities such as face painting, racing silks to dress... more

When we visited Lexington in late July, it was not racing season, but we were able to watch racehorses up close and in action during their morning workout at Keeneland. It was really a unique opportunity to see these beauties in action. The track kitchen is open for breakfast, too. Free admission -- you just have to figure out how... more

Spectators dressed in their Sunday best gather in the courtyard... more

I went to Lexington while Keeneland was not running. We where still able to go and tour the hallowed grounds. I have never been to Saratoga, and with saying that I would say Keeneland is the most beautiful track I have ever seen. The grounds are immaculate. It was just a fantastic experience to see the track. Got to walk... more

Keeneland is a must see for any horse racing fans that stop by the Bluegrass. I am a horse racing fan and have gone to visit many different track all over the country, but none have compared to Keeneland in beauty and class. My favorite times to visit are during the Spring meet in April and during the Fall meet... more

Our first trip there was in Sept. 2003. There weren't many horses there because their racing season is in April and October. But, the horses and trainers/owners we saw there were very pleasent and talked freely. Wife and & I went there at 6:30 AM to eat at the jockey's restaurant (great biscuits & gravey) and watch the trainers/jockeys eat... more
