Been there many times, even when it was the old Dueling Grounds and ran just a one day meet with Tony Bentley at the mic. They run about 7-10 days now and are operated by Turfway Park. The facility consists of a "rolling" (up and down slight hills) turf course only. It is a unique and beautiful facility....They card full fields and it offers some great wagering value...

The "stretch" there is very long and hilly and when the cameras follow the field, you think the horses are AT the wire and a new camera angle pops up. If you are not prepared for the double look, it is a shock.

Zil: Yep the camera angles there can be an optical illusion for sure. In fact, in some of the camera shots in the homestretch, they're not even to the furlong marker yet when it can appears they're nearing the wire! :D
