Keeneland (and Lexington) weather can be very unpredictable in the spring. If you've ever seen film of the TVG gents Todd and Matt with snow all over them, followed by bright sun and the apron looking like the set of a zombie film (fog from the evaporated snow)..., Pack for anything. Even later in the month, it can get cold and wet, although it is just as likely to be sunny and warm, when hats/sunshades are a necessity in the southwest-facing grandstand.
Don't forget to take advantage of the fact that Keeneland has an open barn area - no gates or guard check points. You can eat at the track kitchen and get a glimpse of your favorite horses, if you know where to look for them. Just show good manners and horse sense.
