Good news, thanks. Went there once when it was running as Duelling Grounds. Interesting place.

They should have a nice crowd on September 13th.

I might make a trip down there on one of the Wednesday cards.

I like the place...my only complaint is the indoor facility is a good 10 mile walk to the finish line.

The past few years they have constant golf cart shuttles running between the finish line and main facility. They have been a nice addition for all.

That's good.

I'd like to see them attempt to run clockwise for a meet.

I really enjoyed my visits to Kentucky Downs. I've always believed the place had potential.
