点评:THE BEST TOUR award goes to Keeneland. Nick, our Australian jockey tour guide, made it that much more special. He provided the rich history of the property, the founder and countless thoroughbred horses that have pounded the mostly sand track. We had the place to ourselves and gained access to areas that aren’t typically available to tour. The new buildings and stables were grand without touching the original clubhouse that is still used today. Jack Keene had quite the vision for Keeneland and no detail was spared. The original limestone, quilt-patterned building, inspired by his many world travels (especially Europe) is a glimpse into a man’s dream-turned-reality that we know and love today. There is no place quite like Keeneland (clicks heels 3 times) and grateful it’s in my backyard.

翻译:最佳旅游奖颁给基兰赛马场。我们的导游尼克是一位澳大利亚骑师,他让这次旅行更加精彩。他为我们讲述了基兰赛马场的悠久历史、创始人以及无数曾在这条以沙土为主的赛道上驰骋的纯种马的故事。我们独享了整个赛马场,并有机会参观一些通常不对公众开放的区域。新建的建筑和马厩气势恢宏,同时又保留了至今仍在使用的原俱乐部会所。杰克·基恩对基兰赛马场有着远大的愿景,并且对每一个细节都精益求精。最初的石灰岩建筑,其拼布图案的设计灵感源于他多次环球旅行(尤其是欧洲)的经历,让我们得以一窥他梦想成真的过程,而我们今天所熟知和喜爱的基兰赛马场正是如此。基兰赛马场独一无二(拍手三次),我很庆幸它就在我家附近。
