Storm has long-since passed, but still no power in West Ky. Over 3 hours now. We can send 100s of billions to Ukraine, but we have no sewer (unless you dig your own septic tank); no water (unless you dig your own well); and now no electricity. I guess we could ask Putin to invade

This is horrendous decision in Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint! Assistant Starter is still holding reins on Golden Pal at start! Has to be declared a non-starter! Has to be! Awful @BreedersCup @KeenelandJim @keenelandracing
