History
It was inaugurated on October 15, 1936, originated as a non-profit racing–auction entity on 147 acres (0.59 km2) of farmland west of Lexington, owned by Jack Keene. Keeneland Association, Inc. is an equine business based in Lexington, Kentucky. It includes two distinct divisions, the Keeneland Race Course, a Thoroughbred racing facility, and Keeneland Sales, a horse auction complex.

In 1986, it was recognized as a National Historic Landmark for its role in horseracing sport’s growth and revitalization in Lexington. It is also known for its reference library, open for the public, and devoted to thoroughbred horses.
