"Always Open"
Is it a Mariana Trench time for Bob Stewart

    From the Hambletonian to Bluegrass Downs could
    only mean one thing - it must be hard times for
    KHHA President Bob Stewart. Or, could it mean
    something else like - Stewart is personally
    supporting racing in Paducah, Kentucky.

    Either way, he made the trip to Western Kentucky
    this past weekend to race, for his first time, at
    Bluegrass Downs.

    As Stewart was traveling downtheroad, was he
    thinking about the race or was he thinking about
    what he might say to his fellow horsemen and
    Bluegrass Downs General Manager Jerry Bradley.

    According to Stewart two years ago, he never
    envisioned racing one of his horses at Bluegrass
    Downs, as he made his statement by saying that he
    would get out of the business and resign as
    President of the KHHA if he had to race at Bluegrass
    Downs.

    We're not predicting that he is going to get out of
    the business or resign as President anytime soon.

    But we will commend President Bob Stewart for
    finding within himself, the courage to go racing at
    Bluegrass Downs.

    Stewart's three old trotting colt, Blessing, finished
    third after making a break.
