Horses and Diamonds... What Could Be Better?

            …And they’re off! Hundreds of students from various colleges gathered at Keeneland for College Scholarship Day to celebrate the first day of spring races in the Bluegrass. Bets were made and money was both lost and won, but more importantly, it was a great day for college students to experience Keeneland at its finest. The weather was perfect with plenty of sunshine and warmth. The crowd got wild during each race as the horses crossed the finish line. Keeneland’s famous bread pudding was devoured everywhere as the horse-loving community enjoyed the beautiful Friday.

As students, the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi were able to attend Keeneland for free with their UK student ID cards. Many of the girls headed to the races after their classes – some even wore their dresses to class! Whether they were in wedges or boots, they were classy and graceful on the grounds of Keeneland throughout the entire day. With senior Haley Goode winning $140 on a $12 bet, it’s no doubt that diamonds and horses go together!
