Ill be there

Indian Charlie 09-13-2007 02:50 AM

i'll try to be there as well.

however, i cannot put into words how much i hate driving into the boston area!

is anyone willing to carpool, say from the portsmouth/newburyport area?

any other suggestions as well?

boswd 09-13-2007 10:50 AM

what about taking the train in? I think Amtrak runs from Maine to Boston. From North Station you would take the organe line to the Blue and get off at Suffolk Downs.

I expect to be there with my husband, and will be meeting a friend.

Coming up the Mass Pike, with the Big Dig, it's so much easier to get there.

I HATE driving into NYC .. and don't get me started on the Garden State Parkway in NJ.

I have 4 grandstand seats - they are supposed to be near the finish line. I was going to get a box but by the time I got around to doing it the best I could get is on the turn for home. Anyway, I am not sure if anyone is coming with me so I should have available space. I also like to wander around when I am there so we can all try to use the seats to take a load off. There are stickers for the seats, not tickets. I assume that as long as we are only using the seats that have been purchased, other patrons won't complain.

I am hoping that someone will organize a meeting place etc., that is not my strong suit, at that point we could check out the crowd control and figure out a way to best utilize the seats for all interested.

As an aside has anyone looked at the payouts at Suffolk lately? This past weekend the exactas seemed very generous. I was at the track yesterday for a few races and race 4 or 5 had an exacta payout of over $200, the trifecta was somewhere near $4000. I thought that was pretty impressive.

How about meeting at the Bud tent around 11:30 or 12?

Suffolk Shippers 09-15-2007 02:03 PM

FYI Lawyer Ron likely not coming

Brass Hat and Fairbanks considered the top 2, maybe Student Council

Which leads to the question "Where is the Bud tent?" Like I'll be there that early, as I'm coming with my husband.

At least he's learned that it is not acceptable to miss the first race.

boswd 09-19-2007 08:21 AM

In the past it has always been on left side of the winner's circle. Just after the final turn. I wouldnt' worry, Suffolk Downs is fairly small so you won't miss it. When you walk out from under the grandstand to the apron just look to your left. You won't miss it.

I'd rather crawl the entire length of the Garden State Parkway than to have to breathe the air of that rotten,snooty,racist city Boston.

Well OK it looks like ex-specialist is out

Awesome, I wonder how are we all going to recognize each other. I will be the tall white guy wearing an orange Titleist hat and shorts.

Bill, had a few (well a lot ;) ) of brews with your brother Dan last Saturday at a party back home (Bill Krester's - Stone Arabia Rd.) Had a good time talking horses and seeing everybody back here. Have a good time @ the Cap.....taking a shot with Dr. Pleasure, think he's sitting on a "big" race.
