Lexington Kentucky and Horses

In the midst of the Keeneland Spring meet, we read an interesting statistic in the current issue of the Commerce Lexington Business Focus. In the horse capital of the world, there are approximately 16.5 horses per resident of Lexington-Fayette county (17,000 horses vs. 280,000 residents). And people wonder why we are so crazy over horses, sales of horses and thoroughbred horse racing here in central Kentucky.
