Breeders’ Cup to cap attendance at 45,000 for Keeneland

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The Breeders’ Cup will cap attendance at 45,000 for its two-day world championships at Keeneland in November. The track in Lexington, Kentucky, plans over $10.5 million in enhancements to its luxury seating areas, including the addition of temporary chalets and lounges for the races on Nov. 6-7. Keeneland hosted for the first time in 2015. The first day attracted 44,947 and the second day of racing had 50,155. Del Mar also capped attendance when it hosted for the first time in 2017. However, ticket revenues were higher than the previous year because several premium seating options were offered.
