Gulfstream Park Derby Trail Trip
(Steve, try and keep this here so we can get a feel for it)
Stakes schedule is out and I am going to this place this winter. Some have talked about going. The big weekends are Feb 3rd - Donn Weekend (5 graded stakes race)(This is Super Bowl weekend and the Super Bowl is in Miami, so I might already be here because of the Bears, but if not, I would not recommend going this weekend, because prices will be through the roof, for anything) March 3rd - FOY/Hutcheson Weekend (4 dirt graded stakes) March 31st - Florida Derby weekend(4 graded stakes) If we get enough interest, I plan on calling Gulfstream to work on a group sale deal. I am sure Steve might know some people down there also that could help. I, personally, will be getting box seats for the whole weekend as I like having an area to go without having to set up a war zone to save your spot, probably purchase both outside and inside seating. My decision is completely based on the Bears, if they go to the Bowl, I will be down there, if they do not, my first choice would probably be March 3rd, then March 31st. |

If you do end up going in March... it'll coincide with Spring Break most likely. Keep me posted.

Update
Feb 3rd weekend is JACKED UP because of the Super Bowl so I am going to toss that weekend from consideration. It will either be FOY or Florida Derby Weekend, I am leaning towards FOY. Stupid Super Bowl messing with Gulfstream Park...hopefully it helps them though with alot of people hitting the races on Saturday and the game on Sunday, who knows

It's not totally out of the realm of possibility- because they run their meets at the same time. One for the crappy Florida horses, one for the quality Florida horses lol.
Just keep this in Mind. If you go in March, it's Spring Break time! PRICES WILL BE UP! |
