Even coming out of a mild winter with minimal snow and ice, Central Kentucky is abuzz with anticipation as spring arrives, and as usual, front and center among many people’s minds is an unofficial hallmark of the season of renewal: the Spring Meet at Keeneland Race Course. The meet kicks off Friday, April 7 and lasts for 15 days on a Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule ending Friday, April 28 (no racing on Easter Sunday, April 9).
