I'm right behind you Lava. Some on here may say that's a bad thing though:D

Gonna sneak in through the back stretch with one of Mclaughlin's horses that are running in some of the stakes on the undercard.

Not sure yet but the Canadian content will be there!!!! Will be around Byk and Co. Hey Joey maybe we will see you for breakfast????: Alex will be there he is working the Q!!! Can't wait to see some DT rRRs we have never met:tro: :tro: Go BIG BROWN

Kel -

I'll be there bright and early. Will def. see you guys.

And me! :D

I'll be there as well. I think my seats are in 3U row A, The seats are actually a friends of mine.

Look forward to seeing you guys.

Any specific meeting place we want to set up? Clubhouse side of the path to the paddock?

I feel left out... should look for a plane ticket!!

Thought for sure you'd be manning one of the Carolina BBQ stands!!!

Oh if I went to the Belmont I wouldnt be slangin' slaw at the BBQ!! I love the Belmont stakes (except for one disaster at the '02 belmont)!! I just looked for plane tickets from Orlando but I dont know if I can shell out $450 right now.. Oh well I'll watch on TV.

Wack.

byk is so gonna ditch you fools, and be up in the press box...:eek: :mad:

I'm a member of the press too my son.

Stupidity or Dedication?
 

I despise driving in big cities; I get lost every time and get so frustrated I usually just turn around. This year all my side kicks bailed on me at the last minute. So here's a tenative plan I have come up with.


Greyhound Bus from Washington DC to Queens Village, NY
Leaving @ 10PM (6/6/08)
Arriving @ 530AM

Festivities-----kill time------no place to sleep


Airport from JFK to Washington DC
Leaving @ 6AM
Arriving @ 715AM


-bt-

Dedication until the Stakes runs. Stupidity from then on. ;)

Mrs Heels and I will be in attendence. Section 2A. First trip to Big Sandy.
Safe travels to all heading to Elmont.

Nick was kind enough to finagle a restaurant ticket for me, so I'm set. Sure to spend a good part of day wandering around.

Really looking forward to it!

I will be in GA, hopefully along the rail, as close as possible to 8:30 am. Alone. Anybody willing to provide support for the long day feel free to stop by.

Making the drive from DC tomorrow.

another DC guy making the trek.... that's what i like to hear

got my flight all set

leaving dulles @ 6AM -- JFK @ 714AM
cab to gate
6-8-08 leaving JFK @ 655AM -- DUlles @ 824AM

no hotel, no motel, no holiday inn

all night at the airport

hope to see all ya'll there

Remember Viktor Navorsky? He went to JFK and stayed for months! :eek:

Any idea what a cab ride to the track will be like? There is a flight that lands at 8 am at JFK...what time could i be to the track by?

15-25 minutes

believe me, that movie ran through my mind as well..... green card/visa will be attached at my hip
either that or i'll just blend in the construction workers like he did

i mapquested JFK to Belmont and it says 7 miles... can't be that expensive can it?
