What a set list! Keeneland is the hometrack of Thoroughbred U. If you plan to visit, leave me a comment. For those who wish to watch from television, look to FanDuel or Keeneland.com for live coverage. These stakes and the full card everyday should be great to watch and/or wager. There are no races on Mondays or Tuesdays. Otherwise, racing begins at 1 PM ET daily except for closing day when the first race posts at 12:30 PM ET. Three of theses stakes are on The Road To The Kentucky Derby/Oaks. Those races will feature several thoroughbreds seen throughout The Triple Crown series. Check back soon as I update this post with winners!
