You got that right. Churchill is a fantastic place to visit. I usually make it a habit to go at least 5 times during the spring meet.

Same here - well worth over an hour drive for me, and compared to Keeneland you can actually sit your azz down for a minute here and there!

Where do you sit??

I've actually enjoyed my trips there to the air conditioned dining area The paddock area is very nice, but watching from the asphalt apron is a better spot for frying eggs!

I had a feeling that might be the case, with "calls" in his name, but i didn't want to presume... .... You know i don't read here enough to know everyone!

But that is very awesome.

(oooh look, i'm Suffolk Downs now! GO Mass!)
