Castle & Key Distillery, a popular Central Kentucky distillery destination, will sponsor the $200,000 Bourbon (G2), a Breeders’ Cup “Win & You’re In” event to be held Sunday, Oct. 10 as part of Fall Stars Weekend at Keeneland.
The Castle & Key Bourbon, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for 2-year-olds, will award the winner a berth in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) Nov. 5 at Del Mar.
“The distillery is close to my heart for obvious reasons,” said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin, whose husband is Castle & Key Founding Partner and Owner Will Arvin. “We appreciate Castle & Key’s support of our racing program and are excited to build new experiences for our fans who enjoy great racing and a great cocktail.”
