Let me know if you would like to hook up.

I plan to be there JOH. If you can send me a private message, let me know where you'll be sitting and maybe we can meet. I don't have anything set in stone as far as seating goes. Don't even know if my wife is planning on going (alas, I'm a middle aged guy too).

It's an annual pilgrimage for me -- usually a great day of racing.

If I didn't have this stupid asthma problem, I might be joining you. Last time I was up at Turfway (it was a Jim Beam day) it was too cold for me to sit outside and too smokey for me to sit inside the glassed-in grandstand. The hubby and youngsters couldn't take the smoke, either. Has that changed in the last 6 years?

It's not so tough on Kentucky Cup Day. The Jim Beam became the Lanes End -- it's in March and can be cold. Usually Kentucky Cup Day has more moderate weather in the fall and you can usually roam around easier. The smoke can be a little thick downstairs in the racebook. The house usually isn't packed on Kentucky Cup day like it is on Lanes End (Jim Beam) Day.

Races 9 and 10 on the card could produce some mega payouts. Haven't finished 'capping them yet.

I bet you're looking forward to Keeneland!
