Lexington in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region bills itself as the Horse Capital of the World, and is world famous for its horse farms, and is the center of thoroughbred horse racing in the United States. Kentucky is also know for the Kentucky Derby, one of three horse races that make up the Triple Crown of Horse Racing.  Horse Mania began in June 2022, and concluded after the Breeder’s Cup held in early November at Keeneland, in Lexington.
