May 27, 2009 Fortsat fra sidste side ~ Continued from last page Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky The Kentucky Horse Park is located at 4089 Iron Works Parkway in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky.   Efter frokost hoppede vi let og elefant over grænsen til Kentucky. Vi kørte til Lexington, hvor vi skulle se Kentucky Horse Park, hvor mange gamle travheste bor, efter de bliver pensioneret. After lunch we took a hop, skip, and jump over the Kentucky state line. We drove to Lexington, where we wanted to see Kentucky Horse Park, where many old racehorses live after they are retired.       Det første man ser inden for hesteparkens porte er gravstedet for Man o' War, der betragtes som den fineste amerikanske fuldblods travhest nogensinde. Man o' War blev født i 1917 og døde i 1947. Der kom over 2000 mennesker til begravelsen. The first thing you see inside the gates of the horse park is the gravesite for Man o' War, who is considered the finest American thoroughbred racehorse of all time. Man o' War was born in 1917 and died in 1947. More than 2000 people attended his funeral.

Den store lade er bygget i 1897 og er endnu i dag en af verdens største hestestalde. The Big Barn was built in 1897 and is still today one of the world's biggest horse barns.     Bag den store lade ligger en hestekirkegård. Behind the Big Barn lies a horse cemetery.           Funny Cide vandt Kentucky Derby i 2003. Funny Cide won the Kentucky Derby in 2003.
