Thw Wood Memorial is approaching quickly.

Between this, Sumwon's first start for us and the prospect of a NY Bred Partnership, it is safe to say I'm getting fired up.

Any suggestions on where/when we should get together at the Wood. Based on weather forecast, I am thinking we should shoot for indoors.

I would suggest Man 'O War Room. Maybe 1/2 hour before first Post, or between two of the earlier races.

What do you think?

Hotels: Now thats a different story....we (St Johns) have some local hotels, but I'm not sure about pets!

Let me know.

SC, I'll let you know something by later this evening, see what I can work out.

We're driving down from Albany so I'm not sure if we will make it there in time for first post...between two of the earlier races would probably be easiest.

No offense pointman, but my Brother-In-Law is also a bit of a late sleeper, so that's probably a good idea anyway.

So, in between races it is...

Storm Cadet 04-02-2007 11:23 PM

Wow, forecast for saturday is 30's to 40's. This won't be fun at the Big A for sure. :(

When do I ever get there late? Just the last time we went to the track, the Wood the last two years, BC day, . . . alright you have a point, I will try to be on time Sat!

Does anyone know the time of the second race?

pmacdaddy 04-04-2007 12:07 PM

First post is 1PM, so I would assume around 1:30.

Thanks! :) Any idea which two races you'd want to meet up between? (1st & 2nd or 2nd & 3rd?)

I wish this awful weather that came in overnight would somehow miraculously move out but I don't think we'll be so lucky.

pmacdaddy 04-04-2007 12:17 PM

Want to say after the 3rd race, 2PM or so?

Late enough for folks in Equestris to hit the buffet and maybe still before some of the Crowd.

If anyone wants to do later, that is certainly fine as well.

Sounds good to me!

Snow Saturday???
 
Un-f-ing believable: Possible lows in the 20's. I'm staying home or heading to the Race Palace on Long Island to watch the races now.

Ugh... I couldn't handle that weather. (Well, I COULD, but still.) For those of you that are going... bundle up! :eek:

pointman 04-05-2007 10:52 AM

The forecast for Saturday is not that bad, high of 46 and cloudy. Anyway, just do what I will do, stay inside. It isn't like Aqueduct will be overflowing with people.

southerndutch 04-05-2007 12:34 PM

So, 2:00 in the Man o War room. I'll be there with CU Lion. We'll be freezing our butts off in a NYRA box.

Sightseek 04-05-2007 09:40 PM

paisjpq 04-05-2007 09:42 PM
