The Kentucky football and Keeneland double-dip is one of the best traditions the Bluegrass has to offer. With a loaded slate of stakes races for the opening Saturday of the fall meet, there’s money to be made picking ponies before the Wildcats pick apart the Gamecocks. Getting between the two sporting venues is not as simple in 2022 as some previous years.

This fall there will NOT be a Lextran shuttle between Keeneland and Kroger Field. However, there are a couple of connecting routes that can get you to and from without getting behind a steering wheel.

For each Kentucky football home game Lextran offers shuttle services that pick up from various locations around town, including KSBar. One of those stops is at the Lextran Downtown Transit Center (200 East Vine Street).

Lextran is also shuttling folks around town throughout the Keeneland Fall Meet. Kentucky football fans can take the shuttle from Keeneland to the Transit Center, then hop on the shuttle to Kroger Field. It costs $1 in exact change per person for each ride. If you want to take the shuttle instead of parking and driving between locales, plan ahead.
