What is wrong with Aqueduct? Where else can you go to the track with no grass, handicap in the stairwell and be high as a kite with plenty of time to bet the first, sit in any seat in the house and have no lines at the window?

But I've been to TBD. I even had a good day at the windows there.

Still debating... leaning towards Keeneland. Conceivably I could drive there from NJ, which is a plus (maybe).

Do it. You won't regret it. While you're in town visit the Kentucky Horse Park and Old Friends. Check out the farm tours.

And then, there's the Bourbon Trail.
