Hopefully our current heat wave will have abated by the time you get here (I'm in the Louisville area, 60 miles west on I-64.)
Keeneland is a much more picturesque spot than Churchill Downs, which gets all the attention OUTSIDE of Kentucky. If you ever have the chance to attend Keeneland's fall meet or its horse sales (? fall I think?) you should do it. Fall is our nicest season--just gorgeous here then.
Me, I consider horses to be half-ton bringers of pain equipped with walnut-sized brains, and therefore to be regarded with the degree of vigilance and mistrust due any large, dimwitted, and unpredictable beast armed with hoof-tipped flailing limbs and a panicky worldview. I am now awaiting the wrath of my equinophile fellow LL-ers, but I consider cowardice to be one's primary survival skill.
As our chamber of commerce would surely say, we bid you welcome to our fair state and hope you stay (and spend) a while!
