The meet will feature 22 stakes races worth $10.7 million, while the Breeders' Cup offers 14 Grade 1 championship races with purses and awards totaling more than $34 million. "Keeneland's seasonal workforce is invaluable to our race meet operations, and this fall takes on added importance because we are hosting the Breeders' Cup," said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin. "There are many opportunities to be part of the fun, including consistent hours, competitive compensation and work with a quality hospitality and operations team."
