Spring Meet at Keeneland Race Track...Priceless!
In Kentucky there is nothing like a nice warm Spring day at Keeneland Racetrack. The current Spring meet is April 4 - 25. Next meet is in October.
I plan to spend my day there tomorrow with fellow AR member Connie King from Tenessee. She is coming up for a visit and to spend some time enjoying the weather. It will be her first time at Keeneland.
Kentucky locals go to Keeneland race track to watch the people...out of towners go to watch the horses!
It's like Kentucky Derby without all the hoopla and cameras. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and I would say it is the grandest track in the world for elegance and charm. An owner's showcase for 2 and 3 year old Thoroughbreds before going to Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby.
The picture below is of the paddock area at Keeneland where owners are giving last minute instructions to the jockeys. They are helped into the saddle and escorted by ponies to the track through a tunnel. The old clock in the bottom right is a Rolex. Cool huh?

Lizette,
Saw a horse this morning running on the Pimlico Race track. Thought of getting some photos.
There is NOTHING like being at the racetrack, especially when you get to tour the barns. Excitement overload for me. Lucky you to be there today! Thanks for the adrenaline rush this morning.
Very cool! We have races coming up in a few weeks, stay tuned!
Your Friend in Charlottesville Virginia!
Lizette--It looks like such fun! Have a great afternoon of people watching! :)
Everyone: IT WAS AWESOME FUN! Thanks to Lizette (and Chanel, my niece dog)! I had the best time ever. We picked a beautiful day for my first horse race. Keeneland was absolutely awesome. Lizette: It is something I will always remember as a great time and a layer in our growing friendship.
Lenza - I spent all my time taking pics and watching the people. I forgot to bet! That place is eye-candy.
Margaret - You should have taken some pics. In the past I had always used my phone camera for pics (like in the post above). this time I was prepared with my better digital.
Susie - that is a lot of fun. We never made it to the barns but might next time during the sales.
Teri - It was a blast. It's your turn to go with me next. Come on down here.
Connie - You are such fun! Chanel and I truly enjoyed your visit and hanging out at Keeneland was much more fun because you were there. Come on back anytime!
Lizette, I visited Churchill Downs just as a visitor, not the big race, but Keeneland looks equally as fascinating. Thanks for the story and the excellent photos.
Gary - You probably had a good time at Churchill. I like to go when there is not a feature race. It's beautiful at both tracks. Nice when it isn't crowded.
