Only two Kentucky Football-Keeneland Double opportunities this year

Do you want to do the Kentucky Football/Keeneland double-dip? You’ve got two opportunities this fall. Kentucky hosts Vanderbilt on October 12 and Auburn on October 26. Game times are to be announced, but the Auburn game is slotted into the night window and the Vanderbilt game is still a flex. Kentucky’s first bye is October 5, which lines up with Keeneland’s opening weekend. Make your plans accordingly.
