The fact that Best Western can get over $100 a night for hotel room at any horse racing event pretty much puts to rest the horse racing is a dying sport claim.

I'm sure the America's Best Value will be creepy but we are getting in very late Friday and just want the closest place to the track to lay down and get a few winks. Hopefully those winks won't come with a side of bedbugs. Not sure how we are getting to the track in the morning but will probably go very early and drive. Getting excited!! This is my first Breeders Cup. We are planning on leaving immediately after the Classic and stopping in Cincinnati on our way back home to Ohio.

What's everyone doing for hotels? I'm way late to the party and thinking I'm gonna stay in Georgetown on Friday night and do Thursday and Saturday in cincy on my way to and from home. Heard they are going to be shuttling from KY horse park so Georgetown might not be bad

Americas Best Value Inn- Lexington has rooms for 119/night. Its only 1 mile down the road. Not the Hilton, but it would work for you.

Booking direct or through a 3rd party site? I'm not seeing squat on sites like priceline
