Keeneland Race Course and Maker’s Mark announced the second bottle in the “Greats of the Gate” 10-year commemorative bottle series, celebrating Thoroughbred racing’s most iconic horses. Proceeds from each year’s limited-edition bottle benefit nonprofits that support Kentucky’s horse racing industry.
