The Blue Grass Stakes, held annually in mid April at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky is named for the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, characterized by grass having bluish-green culms, which is known as the "heart" of the thoroughbred racing industry.
Keeneland which has been around since 1936 is more than just a great racecourse! Keeneland is also one of the most prestigious world class Thoroughbread Auction companies with a diverse clientele from around the world and if that wasn't enough, they are also the one of the leading innovators of Polytrack and Best Pad Saftey as they are continously seeking new ways to bring more safetey to the sport.
