With the moon as a backdrop, Sean Adams hung a Keeneland flag Oct. 4 in preparation for the start of Keeneland's 2012 fall meet, which begins Oct. 5 and runs through Oct. 27. Adams said he usually works with the trees, and because the tree crew has the bucket truck, he gets the job of hanging the high flags. Photo by Charles Bertram | Staff

Garrett Cobb screwed in plastic weather shields in the betting windows ahead of the opening of Keeneland's 2012 fall meet. Cobb said the shields were being installed because of the forecast of cooler weather on opening weekend. He said they would take the shields out as soon as it warms up.
