January experience guide

Welcome to Keeneland


As we usher in the new year, our team is thrilled to welcome you back to Lexington for the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale.

During the Fall Meet Keeneland unveiled plans for a new structure that will expand our ticketed experiences on race day and provide new accommodations to our sales customers and year-round special events. We have taken the first steps in making this exciting new project a reality,  and we look forward to sharing this new facility with all our sales and racing customers in the future.

With construction underway, Keeneland will look a little different this year. We appreciate your patience and we will do our best to minimize the impact on your sales experience as we navigate this historic project. 

As always, our team is available and we encourage you to reach out to the Keeneland sales team with questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you on the grounds and thank you for your continued support of Keeneland and our industry.
