The Keeneland 2024 Fall Race Meet begins Friday, October 4th, and continues through Saturday, October 26th.

No racing will be held on Mondays or Tuesdays. 

Many of the sport’s most notable Thoroughbreds, human connections, and handicappers take part in this premier racing event in the heart of horse country- Lexington, Kentucky.

Keeneland will present 12 Stakes on grass and 10 Stakes on dirt while offering multiple Stakes on six separate days.

The October season opens with Fall Stars Weekend, which features eight Stakes that are part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In.

The Winners in those events will earn automatic starting positions and free entry into the 41st Breeders’ Cup World Championships on November 1st & 2nd at Del Mar.

The Keeneland Fall meet’s richest race is the $1.25 million dollar, Grade 1 Coolmore Turf Mile.
