History of Keeneland
After doing research on Kenneland, I found out a lot of interesting facts. I had no idea that it is non profit. That makes me wonder why they do it? The merchandise that they sell is a big key to their funding. The Keeneland library is known as the "soul of keeneland." It has helped promote and preserve the heritage of the Thoroughbred and Thoroughbred racing and breeding. Keeneland is just as famous for its Sales Operations. Throughout the year, Keeneland holds four horse auctions. Each event sales a different type of horse and it attracts buyers worldwide. For my assignment it helps that I have great resources such as the Keeneland Library and The Lexington History Museum. All this information is really going to help in discovering the different views of Keeneland and help to really get a good understanding of it.

Where did you get any of this info? You need to cite your sources. I'm assuming you haven't yet been to the Lex History Museum exhibit?
That *is* interesting that Keeneland is non-profit. Why is that? Can you find a "mission statement" or something similar for why Keeneland started and how it intends to conduct its business?
I'm looking forward to your detailed observation...
Also, note that your blog entries should be 300-500 words long. Yours falls way short (144). It's a shame when you don't get full credit for this simple daily work...
