7/4 (AP): KNS (#5-1st); Aldebutante (#2-4th)
 

Have they drawn yet for Sat?

Haven't seen anything on AP's site, and haven't seen anything here yet.

Thanks

Kickin N Screamin is in the opener and Aldebutante the 4th.

NT

Central time in Chicago, right? So 2:00 and 3:21 ET.

Central time. There was 15 horses entered in Aldebutante's race but she had preference becuase I think there was horses that ran for 25k or less in there. Nice start to a fun Friday...

Who is coming for this one of a kind event?

I'll be there Friday and Saturday.

I seriously considered it early this week but no flights under $450.

Tammy and I are in!!!

Anyone know anything about Candlewood Suites Chicago Northbrook? It doesn't look too far from the track. I can fly out on the 3rd, back on the 5th and get two nights there for $387. Only catch being that my flights could be anywhere between 6 AM and 10 PM (max of 1 stop).

For those in the DC/Balt/mid-Atlantic region

United has roundtrip flights from DCA to OHare leaving early Saturday and returning early Sunday for $203.

Southwest has roundtrip from BWI to Midway also leaving early Saturday and returning early Sunday for $250.

See you at AP!!!

Way too far away

KNS Race looks really tough for the level of 5K Claimers. She definitely fits and i would be suspicous of RM race at MNR which is an outlier. Eternal Sunshine looks to be competitive also. Trigger Fish certainly tailed off after leaving the Catalano barn. If KNS can run back to either race at TP earlier this year she should get the money.

Aldebutante i thought drew real nicely for the 5F turf race. I know AP turf has been somewhat weird this year with splits going 2 turns not sure how it is playing in a 1 turn sprint. I don't think there are any worldbeaters in here so if she can run to her works we might have something.

Best of luck to all involved

I'm in! Super pumped for this, already have snot all over my face. KNS bonus! :tro:

What would a cab ride from O'Hare to AP run? $50?

You can take the train I think to AP from O'Hare, but I am not sure.

cab is about $50

Cab/Limo fare
 

Tops $30.00 for a cab ... probably $35 - $40 for a limo

Thanks Scav and EPB.

Cab to AP
Limo from AP:$: :$:

I'm in. If anyone is arriving at Midway before betwen 8-9:30 send me a PM I'll give you a ride. Leaving early on Sun. so if this fits let me know.

6 miles is that far?

Hotel Indigo --Palentine was $99. for Sat. within walking distance of the track. Stayed there last year.

6 miles is like 45 minutes around here....

This place is perfect and almost positive they will have a ton of rooms, unless there is a wedding across the street

How far is this place?

Sheraton Chicago Northwest

3400 WEST EUCLID AVENUE

:)

Right next door

about a mile or so.........walkable.

Byk's already got the pp's in my inbox:tro:

Whoever is coming for sure and staying Sat night, PM me....plans developing. And if you are here FRiday night, get with Scavs as we will have beer and burgers in the barn to help the horses through the fireworks

when you get to O'Hare, call american taxi from the baggage claim area in any terminal. They're on the phone bank for rides/hotel/etc. says on their website it's flat rate of $28 from O'Hare to the area where AP is.

Car rental for the day is usually under $30 for the whole day. Saturday is a pretty cheap day for them. I rented a car my last trip and I think the total was under $25, including the taxes and all of the other B.S. they add in.

Can't Wait!
 

Will be heading to South Bend for a baseball game on Friday night and then onto Chi-town and AP for Saturday's fun! Two DT entries - this is great! See ya there!

If your flying into Midway and have not rented a car yet BE PREPARED. Rental cars are basically sold out. Enterprise, Thrifty and Dollar still have a few available. Ecomony and Compact sizes are running $110 per day. Absolutely ridiculous.

got one at O'hare for 21.00 after the 1.00 upgrade to midsize.

everyone is gonna have a blast - would give anything to see KNS :{>: , AlDeb,the Colonel and all the other barn horses live, but afraid am committed to staying home to help my dachshunds (one elderly and literally on his last legs) "through the fireworks" also LOL - safe travels and will be looking for the Dee Tee gang in the winners circle not once but TWICE, everyone SMILE BIG for the cameras, okay??? best to all !

The two worst writers get DT races....

He actually did a good job on Aldeb I thought, all things considered. Gotta' love the "New Barn" angle:D

ML
KNS: 9/2
Aldeb: 10-1

remember your cameras, someone, everyone. and safe travels.

Can't get up there this weekend, but here's to safe trips, lots of fireworks, and a huge Dee Tee presence for our girls! :tro:

Aldebutante arrives, settles
 

I just got back from dinner with TC and saw Aldebutante, she is settled in nicely and was eating when I was there. She looks really good in the flesh, in my nonexpert opinion :)
