Tickets for Keeneland’s 2023 Fall Meet, slated for Oct. 6-28, will go on sale to the public on Tuesday, Aug. 15, at 9 a.m. ET. A variety of ticket options for Dining, Grandstand reserved seating and General Admission are available, and all tickets must be pre-purchased via Keeneland’s Official Online Ticket Office at tickets.Keeneland.com/racing.

This fall, Keeneland will award $9.05 million in purse money – a record for any racing season at the track – for 22 stakes. The meet’s richest race is the $1 million Coolmore Turf Mile (G1) during the signature opening Fall Stars Weekend. Eight stakes that weekend are part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In, with winners earning automatic starting positions and free entry into the 40th Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita Park.

“Keeneland’s Fall Meet is an exciting time as we showcase racing stars that are competing for berths in the Breeders’ Cup and year-end honors,” Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. “The gorgeous fall landscape, the pageantry of racing and the world-class competition all combine to make the fall an exceptionally memorable experience for our horsemen and fans.”
