Keeneland

Keeneland Race Course held its first live race in 1936. Keeneland has maintained many of the old-time horse racing charms and was the last race track in North America to broadcast race calls over the public-address system. This was not done until 1997. Keeneland hosts a number of preps for the Kentucky Derby during the spring meet, while the fall meet features numerous preps for the Breeders’ Cup. Because Keeneland has maintained the same appearance for most of its history is was used as the setting for many of the racing scenes in the 2003 film Seabscuit.
