We used to go to River Downs every Labor Day weekend, when they ran all turf Labor Days, with the exception of the Cradle on dirt. The finale was always a 2 1/4 mile Starter race on the grass. We quit going in the early '90's, I had my 4th kid, etc, was just too difficult. There was this really good Dixieland band that roamed the apron and grandstand. Always had a good time. Went again in the summer of 2016. Disappointment was my thought. They charged me for a spot to watch simulcast racing. I was able to go outside for the live races, but the puny grandstand did not do it for me.
