Finding Keeneland

Keeneland is a horse racing and sales facility just outside Lexington, Kentucky. (About two miles from Bondurant's Pharmacy, I'd guess.) One of Linda's co-workers had suggested that we swing by and take a look at this facility and grounds. Just before the the first gate for the track, we saw a Kentucky By-way sign and turned off the main road onto a road that wandered among the various horse farms surrounding the track. It really was more interesting to Linda and me than the track or auction house... but we didn't really go into those facilities either. You can't really tell it from the photo but it was another rainy day. We did get to see some pretty countryside and beautiful horses.

Based on the cars in the lot, was going on at the track or auction but the racing was not scheduled to start until a week or so later. Pulling up within sight of the track, we saw no horses. We weren't curious enough to poke our noses in the buildings to see what was going on that day.
