Kentucky 2007: Paris and Louie's!


Here are photos taken from my August trip to Paris. In the photo are Tom, Barbie, Montgomery, and Karrington. After our drive past Stoner Creek Stud Farm and Claiborne Farms, we stopped at Louie's restaurant for a great Southern-style lunch. It was fantastic. There are photos of famous horses, trainers, and jockeys hanging everywhere, and since the restaurant is just a stone's throw from Claiborne Farms, Secretariat is featured heavily. This is a local place where the hard-working horsey people come. In the morning, they can come for the Sire's Breakfast Special and you'll see the place filled with grooms, handlers, etc. This place is so famous that around Kentucky Derby time it becomes packed with famous people, including Keanue Reeves who stopped by.
