Keeneland Club Members


The Keeneland Club is a private members’ organization created for the benefit of those who are involved in, and who support, the Thoroughbred industry.

The Keeneland Club is at full capacity and new memberships are limited by the number of members who resign each year.

Applications for membership may only be requested by current Keeneland Club members. Applications are held for one year before they are considered by the membership committee. The membership committee reviews eligible applications once a year. Participation in racing, buying and selling at Keeneland is strongly considered when selecting new members.

Membership is by invitation only, and invitees will be contacted by letter.

Please email Beth Goldenberg at [email protected] for additional information.
