THE FARM

235 acres of working Thoroughbred training

An access‑all‑areas view of a 235‑acre working Thoroughbred racehorse training facility gives a rare sense of scale — from track to barn — and how these athletes live and train day to day.

THE TRAINING

Trackside perspective from the clocker’s stand

Watch training up close on the track from the clocker’s stand and observe morning gallops and routines that condition racehorses outside of race day.

THE TASTE

A curated tasting of five bourbons

The visit concludes with a tasting of five carefully selected bourbons — a compact, grounded way to sample regional spirits after time among the horses.

What the day feels like

Over roughly two hours, the tour moves from a meeting point onto the farm for a walking exploration of the training grounds, then up to the clocker’s stand to watch live workouts, followed by barn visits to meet active, retired, and ponied horses, and finishes with a guided tasting of five bourbons — an intimate blend of horsemanship and Kentucky flavor.
