Bluegrass International Cup
The 2024 Keeneland Bluegrass International Cup will be held on Friday, September 6, 2024.
Attendees will enjoy a thrilling high-goal polo match with exquisite food, live music, and dancing — all on the grounds of Mt. Brilliant Farm, an equine farm with a landscape that showcases why Lexington is the “Horse Capital of the World.”
With Keeneland as the title sponsor, the Bluegrass International Cup is held the Friday before the Keeneland September Yearling sales, the world’s largest and most important sale of Thoroughbred racing prospects.
The Bluegrass International Cup benefits the Fayette Alliance Foundation and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Foundation, raising funds to further sustainable growth and cancer research in Lexington, KY.
