Default Gulfstream Park Derby Trail Trip

(Steve, try and keep this here so we can get a feel for it)

Stakes schedule is out and I am going to this place this winter. Some have talked about going. The big weekends are

Feb 3rd - Donn Weekend (5 graded stakes race)(This is Super Bowl weekend and the Super Bowl is in Miami, so I might already be here because of the Bears, but if not, I would not recommend going this weekend, because prices will be through the roof, for anything)

March 3rd - FOY/Hutcheson Weekend (4 dirt graded stakes)

March 31st - Florida Derby weekend(4 graded stakes)

If we get enough interest, I plan on calling Gulfstream to work on a group sale deal. I am sure Steve might know some people down there also that could help.

I, personally, will be getting box seats for the whole weekend as I like having an area to go without having to set up a war zone to save your spot, probably purchase both outside and inside seating.

My decision is completely based on the Bears, if they go to the Bowl, I will be down there, if they do not, my first choice would probably be March 3rd, then March 31st.
