Well, it really depends on which character in the movie he was portraying:-)

I think it is obvious from his previous posts.

Admitting the problem is the first step back to reality.

just scored the best western in georgetown (shuttle from ky horsepark) for Friday night at $111 out the door through priceline express deals. free breakfast, pool, internet etc...read some reviews on the americas best value and got spooked :-)

see ya'll at the track!

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.

I've stayed at a couple best westerns on horse racing trip and haven't had any issues. Last thing I want to be doing is sleeping with one eye open cuz of creepy crawlers.

I'm also doing the cincy thing on Saturday and maybe Thursday. Its an easy trip down from there and places are going to be about 1000x cheaper. Stayed at a place across the highway from turfway that was about $50 and just fine.

I read you need a pass to park at the track. Would suck to get turned away.

We always stay at the Microtel Inn either in Georgetown or Lexington, whichever is cheaper. Not a great hotel by any means but rooms are clean and both locations are good. Checked daily last year until that weekend was available to book.
Was close to $200 a night at Georgetown. $73 a night for Lexington which isn't much more than what we normally pay. They are independently owned, the Georgetown owner was on the ball.
My wife is going to take pictures. I decided not to buy tickets. I think I'll enjoy myself more staying in the room and watching it on TV or on my tablet.

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

www.americasbestvalueinn.com Book direct. Lexington Thursday-Sunday 3 nights comes to about 408. total including tax.
"a crap room at a great price" and so close to the venue.

If anyones gonna be in the Georgetown area you can piggyback with me to the park in ride. From what I read its by the car so id like to pay in as many people as possible...
