As my treat to myself, I took a break from the conference and went on a tour of the racetrack - it seemed crazy to be so close and not see it. Of course the weather was terrific the whole time I was in Kentucky EXCEPT the morning I went to the track. So it was a soggy visit, but we saw some horses being trained and I learned a lot about the history of the track and about horse racing in Kentucky (the #1 industry in the state, worth $4 billion a year). Our tour guide was Gene and he was right out of Central Casting, with the drawl and the humor and the whole package.
