We fell in love with Keeneland before we ever attended a race there. They only have racing for two weeks in the spring and two weeks in the fall, but it's still worth a visit. Get up realllly early, get there by 7 a.m. and watch the horses work out. It's free and interesting, and they seem to go so... more

I have been going to Keeneland since I was 8. There isn't a whole lot to do or see outside of the racing and sales season, but if you arrive early enough in the morning you can watch the horses workout on the track. If you do go for the races and sales, there is plenty to do. During the... more

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

The grounds of this beautiful historic horse track in Lexington, Kentucky are absolutely emaculate. The most recent time we were there the sun was shining, there was a light breeze, as perfect of a day as you could want. We both enjoy walking around and just people watching. -If you have never gone to Keeneland it is someplace that every... more

I lived in Kentucky for the first 25 years of my life, the last 7 of which I resided in Lexington. Keeneland is a special place. Show up early and tailgate under the maple and oak trees in the parking lot before the races (and maybe through the first couple). 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
