if you truly consider yourself a fan of this game then you havent experienced the full purity of it until youve been to keeneland for live racing, the atmosphere is absolutely undescribable!!!!!!

.......and they don't let everyone and their brother wander into the paddock so they can parade around like they are someone important.

No lie I put it behind Aqueduct in the ranking of tracks I have been to.

Nostrodamus and his brother ARE important! (I'm just kidding w/ you Nostro)
I'd place Oaklawn above Keeneland.

I love Churchill so it has nothing to do with that. I'd put Keeneland ahead of Saratoga Harness!

I'm a New Yorker, and I've been to Keeneland about sixty times, and I love it. I understand the complaints people have, and it is tough on a crowded or rainy/cold day, but I just love it there. Sorry, but there are too few racetracks left that are alive...and Keeneland is one of them.

I also love Lexington. I love going to the horse farms, I love driving around the area, and I love going to the bars at night. I wish the food didn't suck and I wish the bars stayed open til 4am, but you can't have everything....unless you live in NYC.
