the Highlights... October 6th-27th The Gambler You gotta know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. The ponies are dancing out at Keeneland's Fall Meet and you can bet your sweet bippy folks are skipping work and sipping drinks. This is a place with a long history. In fact, many people learn a hell of a goodlesson here each meet. The purses seem to get bigger every year, as do the crowds. So get all gussied up and trot out to the field. Rub elbows with the high rollers as you stroll through the paddock and act like you know what you're doing. You see, this is a game of skill, a game of odds and cool demeanor. So place your measly two dollar bet and hope nobody sees you cry like a baby when you lose. October 6-27, Keeneland Race Track, 4201 Versailles Road, 800/456-3412. October 25th Metal Health That's right. Goatboy is loose. Comedy revolutionary Jim Breuer is on the road, bringing his unique brand of stoner humor to the stage with his Heavy Metal Comedy Tour.
