Turf

Keeneland’s turf course debuted during the 1985 Fall Meet.

Through 2016, Keeneland had two names for the turf course. The Keeneland Course referred to the course when a temporary rail was placed a certain number of feet from the permanent inside rail to save wear and tear on the innermost portion of the turf course (often referred to as “rail up”). When the temporary rail was not used (“rail down”), the course was called the Haggin Course, named for Louis Lee Haggin II, Keeneland’s President from 1940-1956. Keeneland recognized course records for the various distances and rail settings.

For the 2016 Fall Meet, Keeneland replaced the inside rail on the Haggin Course with a portable rail that can be placed a variety of distances to protect the inside portion of the turf course. Beginning with the 2017 Spring Meet, Keeneland consolidated the course records into one set based solely on distance, not rail settings.

The Haggin Course remains the name of Keeneland’s turf course.
