I should note that when I wake up in the morning and know I am going to spend the day hanging with my friends at Beulah, I get all excited still. Yes, the place is depressing from the facilities standpoint. But, I don't go their for that. I go to watch and wager on the horses and enjoy the company of friends.
Now, The Little Brown Jug to me is heaven on earth, a real slice of American Pie. Churchill Downs in the morning as the sun comes up Derby Week will send chills down your spine. Keeneland is easy on the eyes and senses. Here is to my making a trip to Toga this fall.
