Keeneland

Keeneland Association is a combination Thoroughbred racecourse and sales company located in the heart of Kentucky s famed Bluegrass region. From its very first sale, held on the grounds that yielded 1945 Kentucky Derby champion Hoop Jr., to the 1998 July Selected Yearling Sale that yielded 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, Keeneland has a record of selling winners. Keeneland provides year-round training facilities and annually conducts race meetings in April and October. Keeneland s racetrack offers a variety of distances on its dirt and turf courses. Thoroughbred sales are held five times yearly with 2-year-olds selling in April, yearlings selling in July and September, breeding stock in November and horses of all ages in January. Keeneland maintains Thoroughbred racing s traditions while promoting the industry through three lines of business: sales, live racing and simulcast racing. Keeneland Association is headquartered in Lexington, Ky.
