I am not sure what you are talking about? I have been to Keeneland, not this meet, and it is still the best place for an entertaining day at the races with a top quality product

IMO they have a very poor response time when anything goes wrong with a horse....During the spring meet I sat in the clubhouse and watched a fallen jockey hold his broken down horse for more than 5 minutes with NO help even on the way it wasn't until the horse collapsed on the track and the entire grandstand gasped that there was any reaction from the track staff...
same goes for the human ambulance....first day of this meet the jocks lay on the track for a long time before the ambulance got to them....
and then there was Dream of angels....it took a ridiculous amount of time for Keeneland to find a screen to shield that poor horse as it lay bleeding to death in the paddock...then Teuflesberg managed to break away from the handlers while they again waited for the ambulance...
Say what you want about NYRA, I think they do a better job when accidents occur.
