Ernie Flynn was the greatest tour guide. We had a great time with his knowledge of the history of horses, he knows all about training and what jockeys do to win the races. We highly recommend this horse farm tour.

This is such an enjoyable and informative tour! Our guide, Mike, took us to Keeneland race track and the Magdalena horse farm, where Mystic Dan and other champions were trained. He is so personable and knowledgeable about all aspects of horse breeding and racing. My favorite part of the tour was walking past the stalls and fields at Magdalena and meeting/petting the horses. Traveling through the beautiful countryside was the icing on the cake. I would recommend this tour to anyone, from horse racing novices to experts. Thank you, Mike!

Loved visiting keeneland track and seeing Mystic Dan’s “sister” and jockey pull up to the rail today hello! Visited the horses up close elsewhere and in the fields. Lovely drive and an opera-singing guide with colorful stories.

The house was beautiful, the owner very friendly. The horses come up to the fence line. The place is very peaceful. I would 100 % stay there again if I'm ever in Lexington.
