Ballin’ on a budget

• Eat: Grab a cooler, some hotdogs + a gas grill from your local Kroger, or a couple of deli sandwiches from Wilson’s Grocery for the perfect lunch on The Hill.
• Shop: Dressing your best doesn’t have to burn a hole in your pocket. We recommend heading to Pop’s Resale or Street Scene to get all your vintage Keeneland duds.
• Tickets: The best part of The Hill? It’s free to tailgate, offers complimentary shuttle service to the Grandstand area, and has a big screen to watch the races live. For a closer view, snag a $7-$10 general admission ticket.

Living lavishly

• Eat: On-site dining at Keeneland Track Kitchen is perfect way to start off your day. Grab some breakfast and you might even get to say hay to a jockey.
• Shop: Weather in Lexington can be unpredictable, so we always suggest bringing a few layers like a stylish pullover from Morton James. For sunnier days, snag a pair of sunglasses from Shady Rays to pair with a sundress from Peplum Boutique or sports coat from Logan’s of Lexington.
• Tickets: Various ticket packages give you the ability to customize your day. Want a business casual atmosphere? The Phoenix Dining Room is a great option. If you want a more immersive experience, Grandstand area tickets range $15-$25.
