There’s a little extra excitement surrounding the start of Keeneland’s fall racing meet Friday. The 17 days of racing at the historic track will be followed by the world championships in Thoroughbred racing, the Breeders’ Cup. It will be held on November fourth and fifth. Keeneland Chief Marketing Officer Christa Marrillia said this opening weekend finds nine wins and you’re in the competition. Winners get spots in corresponding races at the Breeders’ Cup.
“We have a number of horses that are already on property now that are training to either race here during the fall meet or they’re preparing for the World Championships,” said Marrillia.
