Keeneland Race Track and Sales!!

Last October, 2006, I went to Kentucky to visit Barbie, Tom, the new little KT, and, of course, my beautiful Hailee. The weather was gorgeaus that weekend, so we went to Keeneland Race Track for an afternoon. Keeneland is one of the most lovely places in the United States. The grounds are beautiful. The horses are elegant. You have to love a place whose motto is "We're all about Thoroughbreds!" They had just transitioned to the new poly-track to prevent injuries. It was an afternoon of wonderful racing, a cute little baby, and a dinner afterwards at The Chase Restaurant in Lexington. A really big wonderful day. You can read more about the very important Keeneland at the following links! Notice that it is so important that it's on the National Registry of Historical Landmarks!!!
