 The Baseball Trip 2024

 Day 2 - Wednesday June 5

Bucket list! Churchill Downs!

We traveled south to Louisville to visit historic Churchill Downs. We arrived while the fifth race was just about starting, so no wagering until race 6. I lost on races 6 and 7, but managed to cash on races 8 and 9. In all, I was down 23 bucks. That's about par for the course.

Her are a few photos of the track:

Front gate.

Infield video board and tote board.

Paddock area.


Favorite town name:    Henryville, KY

Favorite signs: (at Jiffy Lube) Soup of the Day - 5w30.
                        Diesel, Beer & Wine!
                        Coffee Pot Road

Random Observation from Randy: Where do I go to talk to the bastards who sold Arlington Park to the Bears?

Things we cannot hang around for: Carroll County Fair, Carrollton, KY

Next: Cincinnati, Cubs vs. Reds.
