Doesn't appear that the snow amounted to much accumulation [then again, I live in New England]. Still, you have to admire the hardiness and enthusiasm of the fans at Keeneland. The day looks cold and blustery, but when the racing feed shows views of the crowd, the area next to the rail is crowded. Perhaps they have been fortified by a few drams of Kentucky's finest bourbon.

Some might have been rewarded, but it was pretty much a parade of favorites or near favorites except for I think one of the early races and the 11th race which I think paid best of all. I missed my bets and knew I was probably going to. Hate when I figure out which one is going to beat me and then it happens. With the track muddy, you would have thought there would have been some long shots, but I guess it dried out pretty quickly.
