Poss. Churchill race - who will be there?

[Riot]

I know we are all waiting to see if the race fills and Sumwon will go <g>, but if it does, who else will be at CD this Sunday?

Anybody else up for dinner & socializing afterwards, maybe taking The Trainer and his SO out if they are so inclined and available ?

[PeteMugg]

There's a pretty good chance I'll be able to make the race Sunday if it fills. I like the idea of socializing afterwards, I'm just not sure how long I'll be able to hang around.

[AeWingnut]

I hope to make the race but should try and get on the road ASAP. it is a long drive

[jman5581]

I thought I might be able to make it, but it's not going to work out. I will definitely be there for the next one....assuming it's 2-4 weeks after this coming Saturday at Churchill or another track in the bluegrass region.

I heard he wants to maybe take her to Colonial Downs
don't remember how far off that one is

I hope we get a couple more at CD. It will be tough to make it to VA unless I make a vacation of it. Never been there, could be fun.

Colonial opens June 15 we might have to hold out for that.
we WERE scheduled to drive into L-ville this weekend but now i don't think it will happen.

Riot,

For me it will be a last minute decision. I am qualified for the NHC online Handicapping contest this Saturday so I cannot leave until after the contest is over, which then leaves no flights to either city Sat eve. If I can get an internet connection at CD that might change things somewhat.

My Step Daughter works for USAIRways and I can fly standby which is a risky proposition out of both Lex and Louisville this Sunday. Cincinnatti looks like it might work but not sure about the driving distances to CD.

If not I'll be in an OTB in Virginia rooting her home, but would rather be there.

Wow, congrats on the contest! Good luck!

Cincinnati is about an hour plus from Louisville, airport is on SW side of city with easy direct interstate access to L'ville. If you have 3 hours from landing to post time you'd make it (rental car pickup, etc). Yes, doubt you could find a standby seat home, however. Maybe decent chance out of Lex, though, as KEE ends Friday and everyone moves over to L'ville.

If the race fills and Sumwon goes, then I will go.

Assuming that I survive the race, I will be up for dinner and socializing afterwards, with Chuck and his SO, and anyone else... just no guarantee how coherent I will be.

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Mostly likely...will be at the Fort Plain OTB again to root her on with the usual crew (me, fpsoxfan & the "injured" estreetposse)
plus some others since the race is on the weekend.

Tell us again how far this trip is for you

If Sumwon wins, it's nothing at all.

If she doesn't win, it's way too long. (No pressure, Chuck... or Sumwon)



It was a little over 1900 miles by air last time. I'm taking a different route this time. Thank goodness I don't have to drive it.

Geesh, did you win a DT hat for that? The longest in miles? (although I think Ed and Steve won the longest drive )

1200 mile drive here . Can't make it this time but will be there in spirit.

No, I didn't win a hat. I already had a hat. And I have been wearing that hat ever since for luck and refuse to take it off until Sumwon wins.
