Keeneland Backstretch Tour

For an exclusive glimpse into the daily operations on the backside of a racetrack, this is the tour for you. This insider’s tour takes you from the main track to the perimeter of barn 20 and everything in between!

RESTRICTED TO AGES 13+; Adults, curious, casual, and committed fans welcome

ON THE TOUR On this unique tour, participants will stroll around just outside the Keeneland’s stable area, commonly known as the ‘backstretch’. Among the possible activities you could see include a racehorse being bathed or a horse receiving new shoes. The tour will also make stops at the main track and training track, as well as the racing office and Sales Pavilion, when available.

Please note, this tour requires walking over 1.5 miles, and standing on uneven terrain. Due to this, we do not recommend this experience for guests who utilize a wheelchair or walker.
