Description

Since 1936, Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, has represented the gentility and excitement of Thoroughbred horse racing. To central Kentuckians, it’s a long-lasting a part of their culture and a fun place for all generations. For horsemen from far and wide the world, Keeneland may be an honest marketplace for the most efficient Thoroughbred racing and breeding bloodstock to be found. Keeneland’s world-class library is the repository of the largest number of Thoroughbred racing information on the planet; all of the images in this book are from its vast collection. The book opens with photographs of the Kentucky Association racetrack that came before Keeneland and continues with images of the people who made Keeneland imaginable: jockeys, trainers, grooms, exercise riders, owners, track management, track workers, customers, and others. Photographs in the book also capture famous horses from the past, including Iron Leige, Round Table, Seabiscuit, Man o’ War, Nashua, Whirlaway, Citation, and Bull Lea.
