Trip to Lexington...suggestions welcomed

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I was the guest of a Kentucky circuit trainer during the entire running of the Keeneland Spring meet in 2004.

Without question, my favorite part of Keeneland is the library.

With the new surface installed, I now have absolutely no use for that meet from a betting standpoint---and, perhaps because they opt to sell Burgoo (what the hell is that anyway?) instead of Pizza---I didn't exactly take a liking to the place---that SO MANY I've known seem to.

However, I would seriously consider taking a ride there just to haunt the library for hours and hours. I would recommend that as the one stop you must make.

I have to agree with drugS that the library @ Keeneland is a must see...I have spent entire days in there...try to get one of the librarians to take you into the basement vault...they have amazing stuff that hasn't even been cataloged...photos, paintings etc.

for farm tours the easiest place to get into IMO is ashford...they are used to it...even during the breeding season...and they have an overhead gallery type area where they sometimes let tours watch a breeding.
