The Thursday before the Kentucky Derby means one thing at the Lexington Rotary Club meeting. It’s a time when the head of Keeneland speaks about past and future horse industry items.
Keeneland President Shannon Arvin spoke about sales successes off the top. She said last September’s yearling sale came in as the highest-grossing sale in Keeneland's history. Less than a couple of months later, the Breeders Cup at the track accounted for an $81 million economic impact for Lexington. Arvin noted Keeneland will participate in newly adopted sports wagering.
