I think you're considered a KY trainer if more then a % of your starts are in KY.
50-60% I do believe but not 100% on that.

Sleep with a cousin?
Now that is funny!

Disqualified if you have all of your original teeth, no tattoos, and don’t live in a trailer.

Hey, I raced at Bluegrass downs some 20+ years ago. You guys are not far off. Now, they come from all over with dual eligibility. Many come for the EC and overnights, as well.

Blue Grass Downs in Paducah. Went there once. Win handles were typically $10.00 . Yes I mean Ten Dollars.
Paducah downtown was a nice, interesting, place. I guess the merchants make their money from the river cruise ship stops.

Also been to Thunder Ridge Raceway life card in Appalachia.

Probably 20 years ago, me and another trainer thought for something different, to take four down to Thunder Ridge and was going to have a young driver from Scioto come down and drive. Called to enter, and were asked if we are on the approved list !! ??
The approved list came about from the boys meeting on Thursday morning for doughnut and coffee and then telling the race office whether or not to accept outside entries..... We were not approved ngc3

You didn't know about the Thunder Ridge Mafia led by Jed Clampett?

The place was once owned by Merv Griffin Enterprises. It was in the mid 1990's as the infancy of riverboat gaming was happening. They kept it racing while maneuvering to get a casino license. Of course that never happened. My partner was in the original group that built Blue Downs. They held Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horse meets there at that time. After sitting for some time, Merv's group opened it with a simulcast and harness license, while working on a casino license.
Now, the city took ownership and has made it a multi use public park.

when I heard we needed approval to ship down from Ohio, figured we had two choices..
- no chance
- or buy the boys a dozen doughnuts and hope
Decided it wasn't that important to race there.

Chitterlings or Gizzards would have surely done the trick.

Google an article Bill Finley wrote some years back on Thunder Ridge. Complete with photos, it was hilarious.
-
I bet if you list the series Ozark character Ruth as the trainer your horses would get in.

I believe Bud Hatfield is still in the sport today. I believe he is a 5th or 6th generation descendant of that famous family.
