Horse Country Fall Tours in Lexington, KY

If you happen to find yourself in Lexington, KY this fall or if you need an excuse to make a short road trip, there are some great tours available in  September around the Keeneland Fall Meet.  I'd love to take this tour.


Behind the Scenes at Keeneland's September Sale


See what the professionals look for and experience the thrill of the sale!
 
Keeneland, together with Horse Country, is offering guests an opportunity to experience an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the world’s leading Thoroughbred auction house including guided portions with real consignors and agents! You can't get this access anywhere else! In addition to guided visits throughout the grounds including the Keeneland Grandstand, picturesque Paddock, world-renowned Keeneland Sales Pavilion complex - where some of Thoroughbred racing’s greatest horses have been sold - you'll actually get to see what the professionals look for and experience the thrill of the sale from the insider's perspective! Horse Country members Darby Dan, Mill Ridge, and Taylor Made will offer a special portion of the tour from consignor and agent perspectives.

You can add to your knowledge with a few additional tours.....
