An Uncommon Experience at Kentucky Downs

Description:
The matchless nature of Kentucky Downs beckoned my husband and me. Visiting was on our racing bucket list. The five-day season is held in September on the only European-style racetrack (an asymmetrical all-grass course) in the U.S., and the short meet is filled with 13 stakes races, high purses, full fields, low betting takeout, and some of the biggest names in racing. We chose to attend Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes day, a card with four stakes races.
