How many days are you going to be in KY? Where are you staying? If just a weekend trip for the ballgame I would not try to do Louisville in addition to Lexington. If you fly in Friday, drive over to Lexington and maybe hit a bourbon tour on the way in at buffalo trace or woodford. Makers is a little out of the way and wild turkey isn't great other than the view.

Saturday go out to keeneland early and enjoy one of the best racing experiences. I would recommend grandstand or box tickets but general admission is fine. After a day of drinking and betting on ponies head into town for the game. Don't expect the tailgating scene to blow you away as compared to BR, but folks are nice and the tailgating is all very close to the stadium which is a nice hometown atmosphere. Parking near the game is very easy compared to BR. You've already gotten a lot of good recs for food.

My advice would be not to try to do too much in too short of a timeframe. If you've got 4-5 days there's plenty more bourbon tours and horse farms to visit, plus Louisville.

We fly into Louisville at 130 and that’s whej I was hoping to shoot over to Church Hill.

Hopefully it’s a Saturday night game and can catch a race at Keeneland Saturday morning.

Is it possible to catch a race Friday evening?

Also if you could recommend one whiskey tour which would you choose?

Thanks
