Do the tourist thing and go to the museum. A marvelous way to spend a few hours.

the museum is cool. Lot of history in that bulding. In the back they have like a riding simulator. Made me realize how strong those jockeys legs are.

Definitely go to the Museum. I doubt it, but maybe they have the Barbaro film up already. I don't think Churchill allows people in for the morning works other than derby week, which is pretty lame, but there might be some tour of the backside.

Thanks guys! But looks like I won't be getting to the track until around 3. Hopefully in time to load up on Obi Wan Kenobi in the Jefferson.
