Keeneland has announced plans to build a paddock and enhance the saddling paddock to expand viewing and improve safety for horses and spectators. The estimated $93 million project has already received preliminary approval for incentives up to $23.2 million from the Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority. It will be Keeneland’s largest capital project since its 1936 opening. Construction will begin in January, with completion by fall 2025. It will include seated dining and a panoramic rooftop view, and spectators will be able to view jockeys during a walk-through before each race.
