With how beautiful it looked there, I don't doubt it.

It is ridiculously awesome in the Midwest today. Chicago it is 80 degrees, breezy.

Puts ya in a good mood after what was a rough week.

What I don't like about Keeneland is their inclusion of maiden claiming races.This is supposed to be a meet for some of the best horses in the country.Why they wish to cheapen their racing cards with such refuse is a mystery.Plenty of opportunity for those at Churchill.

What? They write races for the horses they have. They can't card all allowance and stakes races if they're not gonna fill.

Out of the 150+ races they will run at the meet 7 are maiden claimers, and 2 of the 7 are maiden claiming 100k.
