Nestled on Versailles Road is a gorgeous expanse of racetrack, its grandstand rising from the greenery of the Bluegrass as cars speed toward the welcoming streets of Lexington, Ky. With its classic lines and hand-chiseled limestone, Keeneland Race Course is a beacon of what racing can be, a celebration of the horse as well as a home for the sport’s fans, its focus on the past, present, and future all at the same time.

The 43rd Breeders’ Cup World Championships is less than three weeks away, and contenders for the event’s 14 races are finalizing travel plans to Keeneland Race Course for Oct. 30-31.

After a whirlwind weekend of Thoroughbred racing in North America and France, the calendar lightens considerably this week before ramping back up again in advance of the 43rd Breeders’ Cup World Championships Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland.

Tradition, atmosphere, and excitement have been hallmarks of the Far Hills Race Meeting for more than a century. The 105th annual Far Hills Race Meet Saturday, Oct. 17, at Moorland Farm in Far Hills, N.J., is anchored, as always, by a terrific card of six races featuring the American Grand National, and the event continues to grow and evolve.

The upcoming weekend in horse racing is easily one of the three or four most active each year, covering a slew of marquee stakes races here in North America and internationally. That’s especially so in 2026, as the postponement of last weekend’s racing at the new Belmont Park due to weather has added even more big-ticket contests to the early-October stakes calendar.
