Keeneland
 

Any suggestions on what to wear to the clubhouse this weekend at Keeneland? <BR>Is a dress and hat too much? Does my husband need suit, or just jacket and tie?<BR>Thanks!

What in the world is Keeneland????

I used to live in Louisville and went to Keeneland at least once each season. For George, it is a beautiful historic race track in Kentucky and is probably second only to Churchill Downs. The races this weekend are tune ups for the Kentucky Derby in May.<BR><BR>If viewing from the clubhouse, a nice sundress sandals and hat are fine for you or a pretty suit. If going with the dressier suit, I would forgo the hat, people only get dresses to the nines for the Derby and Oaks Day. Hubby doesn't need a suit. Jacket and dress shirt are fine (even a polo shirt with jacket) he can forgo the tie as well or wear it if he wants, but definitely a jacket is necessary.

Sorry...Keeneland is a thoroughbred racetrack in Lexington, KY. Beautiful place, so I have heard. Just gorgeous. And, very , very southern.

Cara- I live in Louisville and visit Keeneland.Ditto to the previous post- I didn't see any hats there last year.Suits are a no-no...bright sports coats are everywhere , though. Have fun.<BR>ps- it's Thunder Over Louisville day, so avoid coming through Louisville in the afternoon or evening- many roads are closed and the traffic is awful.

Thanks very much for your help! Terrific advice. Any advice on where to eat? <BR>The Homestead?<BR>Al la lucies?<BR>Thanks!<BR>

We ate at Emmet's a few months ago and loved it! It's on Tates Creek Rd. I suggest you make reservations soon.
