LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Major renovations are coming to Keeneland Racetrack in Versailles, including a permanent building for the paddock.
The track plans to build a three-level building where the jockey quarters and administrative offices currently sit. It will have traditional sit-down dining, new bars and a panoramic rooftop.
It will also have a new jockey quarters.
"We spent a great deal of time looking at racing venues and sports facilities around the world for inspiration," Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said in a news release Wednesday. "We also talked to our stakeholders and fans to understand what they love most about spending a day at Keeneland, whether it be during racing, sales or another occasion. Keeneland’s fans are the best in the industry, and we know the demand for tickets is often greater than the supply. This new facility will allow us to provide a variety of unique experiences allowing more fans to enjoy the finest hospitality in sports."
Construction will start in January and is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2025.
