When do we need to book our hotel/accommodations?

This will be the opening weekend of Keeneland with a possible UK football game the same weekend. Lexington is a smaller city, and the hotels and Airbnbs BOOK UP FAST specifically this time of year! We highly recommend booking your accommodations as soon as you can. We would love to have all of our guests in downtown to make it super convenient for shuttling and transportation.
