This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

CTKayak's Run for the Roses Geocoin is a Run for the Roses Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

Please take this coin to visit horses - a barn, a race, a farm, anywhere - and take pictures with it and horses along the way. I would particularly like it to visit:

1) Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, site of the first leg of the Triple Crown;
2) Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, site of the second leg of the Triple Crown; and
3) Belmont Park in Belmont, New York, site of the third leg of the Triple Crown.

Bonus if you can get the coin there for any of the Triple Crown races. Bonus number two, visit

COMPLETE: 4) Saratoga Harness Racetrack in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. to visit "Star of Paradise", my friend's pacer (although I'm not sure if he's still running). -- Thanks to racnla for bringing the coin here and taking great photos! Now on to the other goals!
