Keeneland to Offer Breeders' Cup Tours

Keeneland

 In advance of hosting the Breeders' Cup championships in October, Keeneland will offer fans hour-long, guided tours designed to give an insider's look at the connection between the championships and the historic Lexington racetrack. Tours begin Aug. 22 and will be available at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“The Official Breeders' Cup Tour will weave the history and importance of the Breeders' Cup with that of Keeneland and Central Kentucky; all three play a significant role globally in Thoroughbred racing and breeding,” Keeneland President and CEO Bill Thomason said. “This year marks the first time Keeneland is hosting the Breeders' Cup, a homecoming for Thoroughbreds born and raised in Central Kentucky, many of whom were sold at a Keeneland auction, have run here and will return here to compete.”

Tickets may be purchased in advance at Keeneland.com or at Keeneland's Ticket Office located near the Clubhouse and Grandstand South entrances on tour days starting at 8 a.m. Tours will continue Oct. 2-14 during Keeneland's Fall Meet and Oct. 25-28 during Breeders' Cup Week. The schedule of those tours will be announced.
