If you've been to Hawthorne you've been to Aqueduct.



Okay, so that might be a little unfair to Aqueduct....but you get the point.

[ShadowRoll]

Delaware
Penn National
Laurel

Was my first trip to Laurel. Went to the inaugural edition of the Jim McKay Maryland Millions. Was a very good day -- experienced both the thrill of victory (after the last race on the card) and the agony of defeat (up until that last race). And got a free hat!

Atlantic City (forgot about that).
Monmouth (forgot about that one, too).

Last time, and only time, I was there I had a cute little server I was making bets for. She picked 3 dog winners in a row I had $5 to win on each for her and I caught 2 out of 3 triples, so I felt bad I was making a hell of a lot more then her. So I told her told pick a tri and if it hit I would split it with her. Oh yea she hit it ice cold and it paid $1600, I gave her 8 bills i thought she was going to faint. She knew nothing about the dogs and never made a bet in her life. It was a good night!:$:
Prime Rib hit the spot too $9.95!!!

[Fulla Sheets]

Give it another year and you will be the best handicapper at that simulcast facility.

You might be the best one there now, in fact.

Tossing every opinion your buddy has about everywhere but Saratoga can only help:)

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Saratoga, Finger Lakes, Atlantic City and hopefully soon; Philly Park :D

[rosaki]

Finally, a nice non-controversial thread that I can use to break my maiden!

and 1 racetrack in my mind:zz:

[Antitrust32]

I really think I only got to Saratoga, Gulfstream and OBS Races this year (the one day races at OBS are so much fun!)

Oh well.. as long as I get to Saratoga every year.. I'm satisfied.

[scanman]

What a wonderful will visit list!
Yeah, going to Oz is a bit of a graduation present for my children. This past May my daughter graduated from UCF and in August my son graduated from UF. We'll be there for about a month doing a lot of different activities, but they were kind enough to let me slip in a few tracks.

Rosehill (Sydney) and Eagle Farm (Brisbane) will be the top tracks. Townsville and Canberra will be somewhere in the middle. The rest are all bush tracks, which are low on emenities, but great "grass roots" racing fun. It'll be a nice bit of diversity, definitely looking forward to it.

[cabvmd]

I have been to

Churchill
Belmont
Saratoga
Monmouth
Meadowlands

Hope to see "Harold"with his new name at the Big A before the year is out.

[scanman]

Convince your children to let you jet across the continent for New Year's Day: there is a huge race meeting in Perth on that day. It's at either Belmont or Ascot.

Are you going up north for their summer racing (Gold Coast, e.g.)?
We were trying to make it over to Western Australia. I have a good friend who lives near Freemantle, but we couldn't make it work on this trip. It would be at Ascot (beautiful racecourse) during this time of the year.

Yeah, going up to Queensland. I noticed it did leave one track off, Sunshine Coast in Caloundra. Then there will be Townsville and a bush track about 5 1/2 hours north of there in Mareeba; Eagle Farm and Chinchilla in the Brisbane region.

Maybe I could put together a DT trip to Oz someday. Haven't been to any of the Victoria racecourses yet. There, you could probably go racing every day, different track, over a 2 week period. Last trip to Australia, I was able to do 15 tracks in 15 days in New South Wales.

[XIIPointStables]

Has anyone ever been here?
