Why do people from California think that Kentucky and New York are like right next to each other? Folks do realize that Louisville is like a 12 hour drive from New York and a 1:30 flight, right?

Probably because it's a 12 hour drive from SA to HP.

Right, but this is legitimately a 12 hour drive going 70 MPH whilst passing relatively near the beautiful hamlets of Grantville, PA, and Wheeling, WV, not 12 hours going 17 MPH up the 5.

Can't imagine the unbeaten dual Breeders' Cup champion mare being anywhere but the "beautiful hamlet" of Arcadia in early October.
