We are just one month away from the 147th Kentucky Derby! Only six preps remain. All these preps will be raced in the next ten days, to shape the final ranking of the leaderboard. Two of these last preps will be held at Keeneland race course! Time spent at the track is always a great pleasure. It is pure joy to ride on The Road, especially when it is at Keeneland. Ride with me now!

What’s up with this Breeders’ Cup? In three words, World Championship racing! The relentless COVID-19 pandemic has imposed many changes in every aspect of life and racing was not spared. Fortunately, thoroughbred horse racing has stayed the course, though augmented. Most tracks were able to offer live racing at some point during the calendar year and we eventually experienced the thrill of each of the Triple Crown Races! Now, as we have done every year since 1984, it is time to witness and honor the best thoroughbred race horses in North America and the world as a whole!

It has been way too long since I last saw Keeneland or a live Thoroughbred horse race. As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, Keeneland shuttered their grounds to visitors and cancelled their epic Spring Meet. In a splendid effort to keep fine racing alive Keeneland was able to put together their first ever Summer Meet. To continue to take the highest precautions for safety, the races are spectator free. Fortunately, with careful planning, we can now enjoy Keeneland’s Summer Meet, #KeenelandatHome!
