I've been to Keeneland simulcasting on cold January days when it's disgusting to walk in there due to the swearing, yelling, drunk crowd; but I have also, far more frequently, been there when it's families, couples, nicely crowded, etc. It's not a huge simulcast facility, and it's not set up to be only a simulcast facility except when there isn't live racing (the individual TV's and carrolls, etc) but certainly they do try to do it right, and they try to listen to the customers.

I've been at Kee (with a couple other Dee Tee people, I think) when Keeneland had a company going around taking a survey on what the patrons want out of the facility; and I've heard Nicholson talk to the handicappers there on HANA day, about how Kee feels about gamblers. They want to do it right, I give them great credit.

Much nicer than Turfway simulcast area on a cold Friday night - yikes!
