I do not mean that as a dig to you, pay close attention to the horses in behind before they get fanned out. Have a nice day at Keeneland
Had a wonderful day, thanks - the tornados and rain have held off during the day, and will come tonight (VERY wet at Kee tomorrow most likely).

Seriously, Bid - standing at the rail at Kee, on site several days, watching the races this meet, kickback has not seemed to be a concern at all. Horses are not coming back covered in Poly, as they come back covered in dirt. Horses are fanning out for the race down the home stretch, and are not afraid of the middle of the track. I didn't see kickback as a problem at AP the one day I attended this summer. I know Turfway had a problem last winter that was solved.
