CD is kind of dumpy. Historic dumpy, but still dumpy--not honeymoon material. Go when there is some significant race there.
Keeneland is quite beautiful. While it would be nice to go there where there is racing, it is not required. Better still, if you can get into the some better farms around the area, that would make a nice trip--and don't forget the Kentucky Horse Park! Also, Lexington is a much better town than Louisville.
IF your girl is big into horses (not necessarily horse racing), she could enjoy this. Of course if you are in Lexington, it is not a big deal to drive and extra hour and a half to just check out CD, purely for historic reasons.
PS: To all you telling this guy to go to the Bahamas--he's a frigging HORSE PLAYER! He's probably 30 cents short of a quarter! Cut him some slack.
