Hope you’ll join us for a fun day at Keeneland!
Let's go to the races!! Save the date! Wednesday, October 7th,2026.
One of our classmates, Lisa C***s, has worked at Keeneland during both the Spring and Fall Meets for the past 8 years. Through her connections, she has arranged a very special opportunity for our class to attend the races during the first week of the Fall Meet—and to experience the prestigious Keeneland Clubhouse. The Clubhouse has traditionally been reserved for horse owners, invited guests, and members of the Keeneland Club. Membership itself is by invitation only and has long reflected Keeneland’s rich tradition, dating back to its founding in 1936 by a group of prominent Thoroughbred horsemen and horsewomen. For most of us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity from a perspective that very few visitors ever have.
*Dress code is dresses or nice slacks for ladies, and slacks and a jacket & tie, (no tennis shoes or jeans) for men. Clubhouse access will be denied without the above dress code requirements. Programs, all food and drinks and of course, betting will be your responsibility.
*The ticket cost is $30 per person and can be paid for & picked up at the “will call” window at the Clubhouse when you arrive, if your name is on my list. Credit cards only.
* Lisa highly recommends Valet parking, as you may have to park in the field, walk a great distance, or walk in the rain, without it. Valet parking is only for members, but Lisa's supervisor has generously extended the privilege to her classmates and their significant other or guest.
*Valet parking has to be reserved in advance. You will need to let me know that you want it and Venmo me or write me a check for $15. I will keep this opportunity open till August 31st. At that time, I will order valet parking tickets for those who have ordered, Keenland will send them to me and I will get them to you. ( A hassle, but well worth it to avoid the above scenarios.)
* This is the only place that this notice will be posted. If you know classmates who might enjoy this outing, they can reach out to me; [email protected] or text me 270-929-3034 for information. This same contact info or a PM can also be used to reserve your entry ticket and valet ticket.
*Upon arrival, you will follow signs to valet parking, which will take you directly to the Clubhouse, tip the valet, walk to the “will call” window for your ticket and program, then enjoy your day!
*Lisa and I look forward to spending the day with you AT KEENELAND !
