Sorry this took so long, work kept getting in the way. Thanks Dell for the reminder.
The only way I can describe this experience is SENSORY OVERLOAD. It really was the trip of a lifetime. My Dad and even my Brother who's not that much into racing had a fantastic time. I would say there wasn't too much proper handicapping on my part, being unable to concentrate on formalizing bets while overseeing the saddling enclosure. The sights and sounds are something I will never forget, it really was a privilege to attend such an event. Photo dump below.

Thanks for the photos…Keeneland and the surrounding area is so picturesque… simply beautiful!!!! The sights, sounds, and detail are as you say; sensory overload.

You guys had a great perch overlooking the saddling ring, that's fantastic! My head would have been on a swivel all day...lol. Thank you for sharing all these images and video clips! It was recent enough that I could remember most of the horses by the jockeys and silks. Really liked: Hollie Doyle getting ready for The Platinum Queen; Mike Repole messing around with Irad (Chocolate Gelato); Frankie Dettori in the Stonestreet colors (Campanelle); D. Wayne still can dress for the part; Steve Asmussen walking Epicenter around himself. What a great trip that must have been, including seeing all the goings-on at Gainsborough. Also, some of the set-piece photos that you got were outstanding, what a beautiful track and setting. Thanks again for sharing all of this with us!

Working a window doesn't allow for much time to take photos... sorry about that.
I did, however, meet up with Croixboy and I was able to get one Interested Onlooker.
My goodness, there were soooooooo many beautiful people at the track for Breeders' Cup!
