The Bluegrass State is also the horse capital of the world, and a trip here is nothing short of unforgettable. There are some iconic venues in the state for horse enthusiasts. Camulet Farm is on top of the list of the most well-known farm in the universe. Eight Kentucky Derby winners is no easy feat and the Farm boasts of it.
