For some, it may be the end of "March Madness" or the first launch of the opening day. But for me, is when the Dogwood flowers and horses to spawn a path to the Paddock at Keeneland.
It is the 75th anniversary of the sky falling on the Earth, and only lasts for 15 days. For fans in Kentucky, the reader is pleased and tail-block is high plateau. You'll see college kids decked in the fashion of the day and others in t-shirts. It is the great melting pot of race, a place which should be on your list of places to visit.
A place that echoes some of the names of horses that were called: Alysheba, reference, Monarchos, Gato Del Sol, Sunny's Halo and many others who gave us the most exciting two minutes we could ask. Talent always shows and the weather is perfect. The runway was once, is not an advertiser, fancy tote board, gadgets and only eight races. But things have changed.
Keeneland is the best way in America voted by the Association of American Horseplayers (HANA). It is on the list of historic sites. Did I mention that they have shown the way in innovation? Menu IRAP appease each player big, leaving very little to be desired. The runway is competitions handicapping, community events, bands and military days. Keeneland is for the player small and large alike. This is the time to be book and place to be seen.
It all begins this Friday with a first post 1: 10 pm - doors open at 11: 00 am and whatever the time, the days are golden. Book as a fine cigar or bouquet of a great vintage, I am pleased at the opening. If you like racing distance. make it a must to visit. I remember my first trip with my dad and MOM, who was his girlfriend at the time. The place was packed and the action is hot. The speed was King and I did what I loved with my best friend in the world. If I live to 100 years, I do not think that I will grow tired to go.
