Management and team at Bluegrass Downs
4/19/07 KyHarnessRacing.com

    KyHarnessRacing.com would like to compliment the  
    management and team at Bluegrass Downs for their
    efforts in making everything better for the horsemen.

    Track superintendent, Larry Brown, and his crew have
    worked diligently to get the track in the best possible
    condition. Repairing soft spots and hiring John Wells
    to grade the track before horses arrived, contributed
    to the fast track for the first day of qualifiers. Larry
    Brown has been the track man there since 1991. John
    Wells has been a grader operator for over 50 years,
    and used to do the grader work at the world famous
    Du Quoin State Fair.

    The barn area has a speaker system that is loud and
    crystal clear. With a good speaker system, things are
    much more convenient for the horsemen, as well as,
    the officials.

    Also, the track has a post time this year of 4pm on
    Thursdays and Friday, with exception of Friday May
    4th at 1pm. The 4pm post time has its advantages.
    People can come to the races and still have time to go
    eat at a nice restaurant afterwards, catch a movie or
    any event that may be downtown. General Manager,
    Jerry Bradley says he believes live racing will benefit
    with the 4pm post time, and expects some of the
    afternoon bettors to play the live races as well.
Working together for harness racing

    It's amazing what can be accomplished, in a short
    period of time, when you team up with the right
    people. KyHarnessRacing.com has teamed up with
    Bluegrass Downs for some promotions and
    marketing. If you haven't already, you need to make
    plans now to attend opening day at Bluegrass
    Downs. On opening day, there will be giveaways
    after each race. Without the cooperation of
    Bluegrass Downs General Manager, Jerry Bradley
    and Track Superintendent, Larry Brown, none of this
    would be possible. We send a special thanks to
    these two gentlemen.

    We would also like to mention that Masquerade
    Costumes Inc., is providing two horse costumes for
    both of these days, April 26th, opening day, and
    May 5th Derby day. KyHarnessRacing.com
    negotiated a deal with Masquerade Costumes, to
    advertise in the live race program for the costumes.
    We plan to have two people, in the horse costumes,
    on both sides of the road on opening day and Derby
    day.

    Bluegrass Downs and KyHarnessRacng.com are
    working together this meet, to promote harness
    racing in the community. Marketing and foot work is
    the key for promoting. Again KyHarnessRacing.com
    would like to thank the Bluegrass Downs team for
    their efforts. Remember, most people over estimate
    what they can accomplish in a year, and under
    estimate what they can accomplish in ten years.
