Apologies if this thread has already been discussed; I missed it (see unhappy thread in "Esoteric" about no internet at night last week). Anyone going besides me?

I'm going....let me know if there's a time & place for everyone to meet and say hello.

Sitting up in the 3rd floor grand stand. Is there betting windows and concessions on the third floor? Is there a Carolina barbecue at Belmont?

I will be there. would be fun to get together with all of the other DTers.

Shall we pick a place and time to convene? I'll be easy to spot- I'll be the short woman in the enormous straw hat.

Nicole,
Barney John and I are all going. Friday as well for part of the day. We'll be in the paddock near where we met last time when Bernardini ran.

Yes, the main stand has always been right near the entrance in the backyard. There should be maybe 5-7 other carts or small stands around belmont. They got the pork, beef, turkey, and italian sausage going. usually lemonade or iced tea also.

OK I'm sold. Pork Sammy please... I'm sure Ateam can point us in the right direction. I also know Martin and Kelly from Montreal are coming as well.

Here's my seats if anyone wants to stop by:

Right behind the winner's circle on the apron.
Section 1KX
Row G
Seats 11 & 12

Look for: female, blonde, white jacket & pants, maybe big hat with black crown.

Hurrah for Belmont fun! Any guesses on a good time to wander over when you'll be there? I know my friends and I will be going to the paddock before each of the races before making our bets.

Byalip, we're not sitting too far from each other, I think. I'm in 1JX, sec E.

dellinger63 · #13 06-07-2007, 09:07 AM

we'll be there between every race so any would be good but why don't we say the before the 4rth or 5th. Just got a PM from Sightseek who will make it as well.

Buffymommy · #14 06-07-2007, 09:46 AM

Nicole,

Please take pics of Slew's Tizzy and send them to me! PLEASE!!!!!!

I have a thing for dark bays over 17 hands don't I?

vprtdo · #15 06-07-2007, 11:42 AM

Not to worry, plan "B" is pick them up tomorrow for Saturday. Cheap seats - Section 3CC. Should be able to see the races without obstruction from these 3rd floor Grandstand seats. Would like to meet some DTer's, so I'm still reading all your posts. Later, Philly to Belmont park

Cool- I'll look for you before the 4th and the 5th.

Again, I'll be in the big straw hat which is looking not nearly so pretty as it did for Belmont last year (it's had a rough twelve months, and even giving it the winter off it hasn't come back the same).

I didn't realize you were a fatty.

But it makes you pretty easy to spot.
