Venue for September 6 - Kentucky Downs

[Alli]

I know I was shooting for the Colonial Downs venue this weekend because I was going to the races, but the races in Kentucky were definitely more profitable. I think I may have bet twice for a couple of chalky wins, but the experience was the winner!

I talked to the people around me about horseracing and how they became hooked. On one side of me were brothers who have been taking racing trips for 30 years together. On the other side was a woman who got her family to come to the races with her. They were not interested in racing so we had a great talking about it. There are so many who travel for racing...something on my bucket list is the "Kentucky Tour"...Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Old Friends Farm....

I'm posting this because it was just what I needed...that infusion of enthusiasm. I don't know anyone else--outside online friends- who follows horse racing, so it was a much needed trip. I recommend!
