Betty's Day at Keeneland Horse Race Track--NO RECIPE--

[violetmatthers]

YAY!!! your horse won!!!! just BEAUTIFUL! thank you so very much :)

[stellaluna4u2]

I used to go to Bay Meadows race track in the San Francisco area on friday nights with my ex husband, mom and dad, and my aunt and uncle. I haven't been in a really long time and I miss it! Looks like you had a blast!

[TheMOstang1]

I enjoy all your field trips. It looks like a lot of fun!

[cynsmi]

Keeneland is a really special race track and is a wonderful and not expensive way to spend a day. One doesn't have to bet to come out feeling like a winner.

[bettyskitchen]

That's true! We had a great time! Thanks for your lovely comment!

I never gamble. For me it's about as productive as sitting at home in the john trhowing money down the commode and flusjing it. LOL.

My Mom likes to gamble, and she often wins, though she usually goes to casinos rather than horse tracks.

[bettyskitchen]

I don't gamble, except for situations like this. We went there to enjoy the food and the horses, and, the betting was just something to do for the video. I was careful to bet very little and very conservatively!

--Betty :)

[fleetsa]

Indeed that looks like a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday, in the horse capital of the world :). I see you still have your lovely autumn colours there. Here in Quebec they arrive and depart somewhat sooner... *snif*

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, we still have leaves on the trees and fresh herbs in the herb garden--but that may end this weekend! It was a pleasant trip to Keeneland to watch the races and enjoy a meal! I hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for viewing and commenting!

Hi Betty,

again a little late but congrats to you on your win on the horse race!

You made a good pick but i didn't expect anything else from you anyway ;-)

I'm not into gambling very much but watching this video was very exciting!

Joe from Germany

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I'm not into gambling that much, either, or I would have bet a lot more $! I just wanted to show the whole racetrack experience, and I ended up making two of the dishes that we had for lunch. It's nice to hear from you--all the way from Germany!

Warm wishes from Kentucky,

--Betty :)

[skabibble]

I enjoy all of your destination videos, and this one is probably the best! Looks like you both had a lot of fun!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, we had a really good time--betting and eating!!!

--Betty :)

[junkmail1]

What a fun trip! It looks like you two had a great time! And the food looked delicious! Thanks for sharing =)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for coming along! Yes, we had a wonderful time, and the food was really good! Thanks for your sweet comment!

[firefighter1811]

great video thanks for going to the trouble of making it. I really like learning about new places to see. is this the same track the kentucky derby is held or are there more then 1 track there?

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! Thanks for your sweet comment! No, the Kentucky Derby is held in Louisville at Churchill Downs. This is a smaller venue, but a lot of fun! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

--Betty :)

[firefighter1811]

ok ya now that you said Churchill Downs I do remember that was a differant track my bad LOL... do you ever go to that track? it might be cool for you to so a video from that track as well. just an idea..

[bettyskitchen]

I have been to Churchill Downs, and I could take all of you there sometime. I have a couple of other trips in mind that I will be doing soon! You will get to know Kentucky very well! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[itsageoffrushthing]

Not quite the Melbourne cup or the Spring Carnival. Is horse racing not big in the US?

[bettyskitchen]

Horse racing is big in Kentucky, the home of Churchill Downs, where the Kentucky Derby is run the first Saturday in May each year. This has been going on over 100 years. Horse racing is big with the horse-racing set, but not everyone! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[Nemie125]

I miss the pride and patriotism that exists in America - things are very different in the UK in that respect. Thanks for sharing another wonderful field trip! :)

[bettyskitchen]

You are welcome for the field trip! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[CobaltO18]

Kentucky is beautiful... i hope one day i get to visit there.... i really wanna do it... :)

[bettyskitchen]

Kentucky is a great place to live; of course, I love to visit other places, but Kentucky is "home." Thanks for your lovely comment!

[love9boy]

Kentucky is so beautiful! This was an exciting field trip guys. I'm not a gambler but I felt your excitment!

[bettyskitchen]

As you can see, I'm not a big gambler, but it is fun to try to pick the winning horse! Thanks for viewing the video and for your sweet comment, Matt!

--Betty :)

[monkeycasa]

I love these field trips! Looks like your math background helped in computuing the odds =) I bet they would kick you out in Vegas =)

[bettyskitchen]

I don't think it was math so much as intuition! I could easily have lost! Thanks for your sweet comment--I will be taking you on more field trips!

--Betty :)

[kingbowman94]

place is beautiful

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you! Kentucky gets a bad name across the country, but the truth is that it is a very beautiful place with generous, loving people (as a rule). I hope I am able to share some of the nice things that only Kentucky has to offer. Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[blessone48021]

I really enjoy the video of the keeneland horse race. That was great. Thank you Betty for taking u tube community along with you. God Bless You and Family!

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you enjoyed Keeneland! I love taking you along! Thanks so much for your sweet comment!

Warm wishes to you and your family,

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

That was GREAT! Such a lovely day out!!

I love to see different places and I love to go along with you both!

WELL DONE for picking a winner by the way!

Lovely looking food! I am looking forward to your next recipe!

Hugs to you both xx

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Linda! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip! And, I hope you enjoy the recipe that I posted today from Keeneland!  Thanks for your lovely comment!

Wishing you and yours the best!

--Betty :)

[theresa8042]

That looks like fun .I love horses They are such beautiful animals. The food looked good too.I loved the vid Thank you.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your great comment! I love horses, too. I've never owned a horse, but in Kentucky you don't have to go far to see them!

--Betty :)

[slmaia]

Looks like an excellent day out! This is probably a silly question, but what exactly does it mean when you bet 'to show'? I've never placed a bet on anything in my entire life, so when it comes to these things I'm in need of education!!

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Delia!

Yes, we had a fun trip! When you bet to show, you are betting that the horse will come in 3rd(show) or better. If the horse comes in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, you get the payout money for 3rd place. If you are brave, and bet to win, if your horse wins, you get the payout money for 1st place (which is more than the payout for 2nd or 3rd). However, if your horse comes in 2nd or 3rd (or farther back) you get no payout money. You just lost your bet. I hope that is clear!

Take care,

-Betty

[usafireandrescue]

Betty! Loved this video!!!! Your chicken salad looked delicious! I love your field trips! Hope you have a beautiful rest of the weekend! Love to you and yours.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Amy. The chicken salad was *wonderful* at Keeneland! I decided to upload it, because it was different from the two chicken salads I already have posted! I hope all is well with you! Love to you and yours, as well!

--Betty :)

[ChristmasLightt]

mmm...chicken salad looks so nice! :)

wow...fierce battle between white jockey and red jockey!^

thnx for this video! can't wait your next videos! :)

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And I am glad you enjoyed the chicken salad! I uploaded it today, and I hope you will be able to use the recipe! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

The burgoo does look interesting. :-) Another great video, Betty. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Jimmy! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for your nice comment. I uploaded the chicken salad today, but, don't worry, Jimmy--I made the burgoo for you! I will be uploading it tomorrow!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

I cannot wait. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Jimmy! This will be Keeneland's version of burgoo, with a few changes from me. It's very much simplified from the real Kentucky burgoo--the real burgoo has about 5 meats and a dozen vegetables. If you want to see that version, just let me know--but it will take me a while to get to it--plus, I am going out of the country for about 2 weeks at the beginning of December. I won't be doing any uploads during that period. (I just wanted you to know in advance.) Have a good night, Jimmy!

-Betty :)

[philest25]

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoy the recipes that came from this little trip! Thanks for your sweet comment!

[skillerboi89]

Ive noticed betty most of ur trip videos are on a sunday excelent! plz reply back - bradaz

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Brad!

Yes, I upload trips on Sundays. I have a few already ready, but I think they would get boring if I did them every day--and when the weather gets colder, I won't be doing as many trips! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[azngirl10588]

COOL

[bettyskitchen]
