Last day in Kentucky

Our last day in Lexington was only a half day as the plane left early afternoon. We took a trip to Keeneland racetrack - it is allowed that you can go there in the mornings and watch the workouts. Beautiful facility, stone buildings and that green green grass everywhere. 

 Entrance into the place doesn't much look like a race track!

 But it got busy behind the stands. Watching the workouts was fun, lots of riders on the track, some galloping, some talking, some just walking the horses around.

 And then, blasting by was a few young horses out for a fast workout.

And the jockeys are all painted the colors of the winners of the prestigious
 race there.

We had breakfast in the cafe there, rubbing elbows with owners, exercise people, trainers and caretakers. Fun experience.
