Looking forward to meeting all on Sunday.

Tom,

I don't know about the plans for Belmont - however, in the past - we would meet up in the paddock before every race. If no one tells you what hte plan is, I would try that.

I will be there.

Flying up from Washington DC Sunday morning. I land at LGA at 10:45 am. Should anybody happen to be there around that time and interested in sharing a cab or car let me know.

Looking forward to the day.

Tyler

Smile thanks

I know at Arlington Scavs got us box seats (sweet) and then we all went down to the paddock together. Quite the site. Looking forward to seeing all the Dee Tee folks in the paddock but was just checking to see if we were all meeting before the paddock.

In regards to everyone meeting, I will be deciding on arrangements later today. It looks like we will have a rather large group.

Tony,
I can't speak for others but it is often not possible for me to place wagers from my office 10 minutes before post time due to meetings or appointments. This is especially true when the races are mid-week and earlier on the card. I understand what you are trying to accomplish but I am sure there are others who are in my situation.

A few notes... Will be leaving for Belmont around noon today.

Those making the trip to Belmont Sunday, I will get us a large block of seats in the Clubhouse and likely a few boxes. I expect we will be at least 24-28, and as many as 40-45 with friends, family, etc. Dee Tee or DTers ALL WELCOME...

I would suggest that attendees gather at about 12:30 on the big patio behind the Clubhouse by the fence that overlooks the Paddock walkway. (I will put up a "DEE TEE STABLES" sign by the area tomorrow morning to make it easier for people unfamiliar with Belmont to spot.)

From there we can do whatever we need to in terms of distributing tickets and organizing the afternoon's activity. (I'll have Stable caps and pins for those that haven't received them too..)

Hope everyone is looking forward to a fun day at one of the greatest venues in the entire world of sport.

More updating here as needed...

Thx!
Steve

Steve,

In the event I am running late due to air traffic issues, or traffic over from Newark I will call you to arrange to meet. Already excited about this event.

NCT

DT'ers
Sorry folks about talking about wagering. Should we be so fortunate to win, it would also be very profitable for us all if we don't pound the win odds so early, to keep the exotic bet value higher. If we can do that, it would be great. But you have to do what you have to do, I understand.

Arrived at Belmont for the 4th race, went to the barn met the hot walker he said she did well in the paddock, only spent a couple of minutes with Aldeb she was curious and seemed fine, not as outwardly friendly like sumwon however she looks vety intriguing. See everyone tomorrow will be there early to enjoy the events!!!!! Kelly & Martin

The sign may not be necessary as 90% of the crowd may be in some way connected to DT.

Next to Sumwon's first race this has to be the most exciting start for DT. Even though I'm not in on this one, with all the waiting and all the expectations of a good one and Mig up, I'm really hyped up to watch, especially starting her career at Belmont.

Wishing all the best....and have fun.

Good luck everyone at Belmont today.
Will be interesting to see how many scratches there are...
Also, i suspect some good jocks will be freed up from the scratches and we should end up with someone capable if Mig goes on the AE that draws in....

All and all it will be a smaller field and increases our chances...

Good luck to all involved. Nothing like a 2 year old debut. Will try to make it down today to cheer her on.
