Before you go

Keeneland's page and the auction's own site both print a 4 pm start; the add-to-calendar buttons on Keeneland's page carry 2 to 6 pm instead, so go by the printed time. Neither Keeneland's page nor the auction's 2026 and About pages say whether the public may attend or whether it costs anything, so ask the auction through its site before you go.

About this event

Keeneland lists the 14th Annual Sporting Art Auction on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 4 pm in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion, and calls it a collaboration between the world's largest Thoroughbred auction house and the country's premier gallery of fine sporting art. The auction's own site gives the same 4 pm start, names the partners as Keeneland Association and Cross Gate Gallery of Lexington, and says Keeneland's portion of the proceeds benefits its non-profit initiatives, including the Keeneland Library Foundation. Its 2026 page lists viewing for the auction in the Sales Pavilion during the November Breeding Stock Sale, November 3 to 11, and the November Horses of Racing Age Sale on November 12. Neither Keeneland's page nor the auction's 2026 and About pages give an end time or an admission price, or say whether the public may attend.
