Crazy about Keeneland’s Fall Meet, 2024!

Some of the best things about Fall in Kentucky are the bright colored leaves, bonfires, tailgating, orchards, festivals, pumpkin spice everything and the return of live racing at Keeneland race course. I am crazy for October racing at Keeneland, in Lexington, KY! If you love thoroughbred racing, you will truly be enamored by the 2024 Fall Meet.
