We were surprised to learn that at any one time there could be up to 1,000 horses training here! They put you on a van, and show you this massive operation. You sometimes get to speak directly with one of the trainers. If you have any interest in racing at all, this is a must see in Lexington.

I've used the Thoroughbred Center for large, facilitated public meetings. We had a very good experience there.

If you want to see how thoroughbreds are stabled and trained, this will make for an interesting side trip. Getting there will take you through the fabled rolling hills of Kentucky with the fences that go on for miles. A highlight was a visit with trainer Mike Cameron. He's happy to chat and answer questions for as long as you... More

We decided on this horse farm since they offered a morning tour. This gave us the chance to see the end of the workouts at trackside and talk to the exercise riders. The guide was informative. We were also taken into one of the barns where the owner gave us a personal tour and answered many questions. A wonderful experience.

Exercise riders cooling their horses... More

This tour was awesome! It is the second year in a row we did this. Each was a little different. But we all thoroughly enjoyed the information we received, the training info and being able to stand up right at the rail to see these magnificent animals in action. The little store was also very nice. I went away with... More
