Man you guys eat well.

I wait until I get back to Louisville, or I stop at Dairy Queen

Thanks for all the suggestions -- a heavy bout of the Keeneland atmosphere getting to me, leading to too much drinking at the track, sort of killed any hope I had for seeing anything good or getting any good food.

With that said, those who talked about Lexington food being underwhelming certainly weren't kidding.

A great time anyway, can't wait to go back. Outside of Arlington, it's probably my favorite track I've ever been to...and it may even actually give my home track a run for its money.

Place was beautiful, the racing was great, the people were friendly, and the payoffs were plenty palatable all weekend

I didn't mind the food at all. I mostly had the Bread pudding with Makers Mark..

but I'm comparing Keeneland to Fairmont where you are probably eatting the last place horse from last week.
