Every Saturday morning during the race meets, Keeneland hosts its popular Breakfast with the Works program.
From 7 a.m. until 8:30 a.m., you can enjoy a hot buffet breakfast for just $5 (kids three and under eat free) and watch the workouts on the track while listening to live trackside commentary describing the basics of Thoroughbred racing and training. There are lots of free children's activities, too. Kids really love having their pictures made while wearing one of our pint-sized jockey silks!
At 8:45, we host Paddock Demonstrations where fans can learn more about some aspect of the Thoroughbred industry from an expert. For those wanting a "leg up" on the race day, we host a handicapping seminar at 11:30 in the Paddock. And, of course, the race day begins at 1:15.
