9/14: ALDEBUTANTE (Belmont)
 

Here's a role call, meet-up information and running comment thread for Sunday's ALDEBUTANTE start at Belmont Park.. Aldeb ships in Thursday, and entries will be taken Friday... More info as the week progresses, but am curious who plans on attending at Elmont as I will be making arrangements for the group there..

I will be there along with pmac, my father and possibly some friends.

I'm planning on going for the day...

Super!

Please give me a (close as possible) headcount for Friday or SAC Saturday..

Me, Mrs. Heels, my mom and dad.

Is Anyone that Aldeb is familiar with going to be making the trip with her to Belmont. Maybe Cherie or Tony. Wouldn't want her to get lonely.:(

I am planning to make my first trip to Belmont - it will be a debut for both me and Aldebutante. Not sure if I can rope anyone else into making the ride.

As an aside - the long range forecast calls for rain - will she run in the rain?

With her breeding, BRING THE RAIN!!

Nick can firm up his side. Here are definites I have. Some partners in Aldeb, some involved in other dt runners.

Myself and Mrs + 2 rug rats.

Big Tony and his wife Eileen.

The "other" Nick Mass, wife and 2 kids.

John D (Jr.)

Dave E (from Saratoga trip).

REALLY looking forward to it!!!

Wanna pay for my ticket??? :) I would enjoy a few easy days!!

Joking It gets hectic around sale time for me and Tony's wife just had a baby a few weeks ago..

Congrats to Tony and the Mrs. on the new edition.:tro:

FYI

I won't be able to make the trip this time

I'll be flying in early Saturday morning and leaving Sunday night. Any way I can visit Aldeb at the barn on Saturday?

maybe:(

Pmac and I were wondering if we can see Aldeb on Friday and whether she will be jogging or schooling in the paddock.

She will have to be a big girl.

We will run regardless of weather conditions.

prob. school in paddock friday afternoon

Count me in.

If I wasnt doing exams, Id defo be there.. will have to watch it on TV instead..

A Brockguy pop-in for the debut would be 'brilliant'.. AND 'grand' as well...!

I'm planning on being there on Sunday

Sunday 9-14-08
 

My wife Nancy and I are looking forward to seeing everyone at Belmont on Sunday. I was able to be there at Arlington for Kick N Screamin's win and celebrate with many of Dee Tee Stable and go to dinner with Chuck and his wife. Sorry to hear Chuck won't be able to join us in NY but as I'm sure he knows someone will be sure to call and celebrate if our filly wins. Hopefully I will be able to bring us as good luck in New York. This will be our first visit to Belmont and looking forward to seeing our sophmore filly in her first start. We plan on taking the train to Belmont and need some direction as to where to meet folks and what the attire should be on raceday. Looking forward to seeing people that I met in Arlington and new Dee Tee Stable folks.

Nancy and Tom LaVoice

:tro:

Trundleon Will BE There
 

Steve I'll be driving in on Sunday, the day after we beat Dartmouth.

Joe

Yes we will be there; leaving Montreal Friday may be at the track Saturday but for sure on Sunday. Kelly & Martin:;) Any get togethrs for saturday?
I know other members posted "are we allowed to visit" before the race???

Steve,

NC Tony and my son Michael will be there too. I will be flying up early am on Sunday.

Steve what races ( race number to guage post time)are being targeted?

Can't wait to see her in person for the first time, not to mention the rest of the gang.

Thanks
NC Tony

Sept 14 at Belmont

90% of Belmont's attendence might be DTer's. I LOVE IT!!

The 2 races under consideration are listed in the CND Book as the 2nd and 4th, but that means absolutely nothing. Either could end up as the 10th just as easily...

steve,
christine and i will be at belmont sunday and possibly saturday. we are also trying to make arrangements for the rampillion race. CVG not an easy or cheap place to fly into from Philly. looking into alternative options now.
thanks,
john

Karen & me (maybe)

I am curious to something, can you enter in both of those maidens and scratch out of one of them, or is there a rule against that?

ChuckBlog reports that John Fahey says Aldebutante arrived well at Belmont this morning around 7am...

The Mig is also locked in to ride Aldeb whether she goes in the dirt or grass MSW sprint..

You can express preference to the racing office to go in which ever race seems more sure to run. If both races go, you have to commit to one. You cannot enter two races on the same day.

Thanks Steve.....Should be pretty nuts there in NY

Small chance I may be able to make it. I'll be in S Nyack, NY for a wedding Saturday, and may take an alternate route home Sunday depending upon which race it is.

looking forward to her run! i didn't manage to get in on the two youngsters, but will still be cheering her on. hope everyone enjoys the experience of being there in person...well, that's silly- of course you'll enjoy it! good luck to aldeb!!

ALDEBUTANTE RACE UPDATE...

Belmont racing office is close to drawing Sunday's card...

The 2yo filly MSW race they ended up using is the 6f on the turf...

There are 13 entered and it looks like it will run as the 2nd race...

More after the draw...

:D :D :D

From the looks of weather in NY this weekend, it may end up off the turf.
