If you have some favorite old mare that you want to visit usually that isn't a problem either...when I worked at Trackside there was one woman who came pretty regularly to see Lite Light, she had no affiliation with the mare other than as a fan.
tipping is a must though.
You should also make time to se some of the distilleries (sp?) Woodford Reserve is absolutely beautiful esp. in the spring....I don't even drink but I love to go have luch there on the deck.

great suggestion re: the lunch... although you can't drink there even if you wanted to, Woodford County is completely dry
(they do have some awesome bourbon candy balls though)
