In a historic move, the Keeneland cards have been moved from Friday and Saturday to Monday and Tuesday with the approaching storms.
“Keeneland takes its responsibility seriously to host these important racing events in the safest environment possible,”said Keeneland Vice President of Racing Gatewood Bell. “We have been in close communication with horsemen, industry officials and trusted meteorologists, and we believe rescheduling these race days is the best way to take care of each other. Keeneland appreciates the understanding of its fans, horsemen, jockeys, trainers and sponsors as we work to ensure the safety of all involved in our race meet.”
