Thanks again all, and if you have any other suggestions let me know.

Four Points Sheraton is on Newtown Pike, at 64-W and I-75, its in the northern part of town that I spoke of. Closer than the southern edge of town. Leave the hotel, turn left on Newtown, go a couple of blocks to New Circle and take a right, it takes you straight to Versailles Road, Keeneland's exit. (When you get on V.Road. stay in the right lane, take either 1st or 2nd entrance to K'land.

SB, here's another tidbit about Keeneland. A well kept secret (that will be no more.)

If you're there, with your girlfriend for several days for the races, and you're tired of dressing up each day, you can shuck that deal. When I get sick of it, I keep my jeans and topsiders on, drive into the track and go all the way back to the track kitchen. The tvs are on and wagering windows are open all afternoon.

I get a table, and I sit right there with the grooms and hotwalkers and the oldtimers that have known this always. Easy and comfortable. And there's plenty to eat.

After days and days, Keeneland and all its blueblood ambiance can grow weary. Real weary. Jeans are cool in the kitchen, when one can't wear 'em to live races.

Grits,

Thats exactly what I do at Saratoga. Backstretch kitchen, betting windows, $2 beers and you can drive the SUV right next to starting gate...back it up to fencing and pack all the food you want all day!

I've never done it at Saratoga SC, but man, don't ya love it!!!!!

I take a Crown and water in with a couple of flight sizes in my pockets. I don't do beer unless eating boiled seafood and Keeneland doesn't serve drinks in the kitchen. LOL
