I think it's supposed to be a bit rainy next Friday, so that keeps the college kids home. Keeneland has improved the entrance/exit to multiple lanes, and is supposed to have a trolley service to help shuttle you from the parking to to the gate. It's still horribly crowded inside. But Keeneland's beauty is that it is rather small and intimate, to me. Just grin and bear it if you want to go opening day.

If you are going to bet, just do it early and be done with it. Take the visit as a chance to get right up next to the horses in the paddock, then view their races. You'll see so many future stars there. If you can come early one morning to watch the works, even better. Just walk right in the front entrance.
