Belmont Stakes
 

Who's in?
Personally, I'm in tense negotiations with the Mrs. MaTH as we speak. I'm going to try to use whatever chips I have left to make it out to Elmont and hopefully see history.

This has to be a one sided affair.

You've got three weeks to wear her down and win this mismatch by attrition.

We all like underdogs, I'm rooting for you.

Yeah, I burned up most of my chips for Tampa. We'll see, I have a good feeling.

Going to look at rooms and flights later today. I'm 50/50, flights will be plentifull and inexpensive, it's the summer NYC hotel rates that are painful.

Check Queens or LI hotels rates...not Manhatten.

Potential itinerary

Monmouth Fri afternoon
Big M Friday nite (can you say SHOW PARLAY)
Belmont Sat

Yonkers Saturday night?

:tro:

OMG and you're gonna have that raving lunatic with you. I wonder if I would be able to swing both days? :eek:

Are you referring to Kegasus? ;)

Yes that's the lunat....I'm mean person I'm talking about.

whoa whoa whoa whoa.... i did NOT sign off on this

need i remind you my old bones have been to both the derby and preakness already this year..... i'm just looking to play monopoly friday during the day and have a few beers to 'cap friday night, b/c i obviously need beer to 'cap

-bt-

if i can walk out of belmont and not run into one person, you're on :)

:tro:

That's a winning itinerary.

Debating on whether to go myself.

You guys are sick.

Does TheBigM have a buffet?

not gonna lie, after seeing what the big M provides for $29.95, i think we were spoiled at the Taj Mahal.

good news though herk, they have an assortment of salads

That's the worst buffet menu I've ever seen, at least they have dessert.

It has been 5 or 6 years since I've been there, but the food in the Pegasus Restaurant wasn't bad for a track restaurant.

Will the Heels Express be picking up additional passengers at Philly airport on Friday?

I have been to the Pegasus countless times and I don't think I have ever seen a shrimp let alone crab legs and lobsters.

Derby Lane wins in a runaway, even with no dessert (sorry Herk).

For the record, the Big M does have a pretty decent dessert set-up...............

i was thinking, since you have such a sensitive digestive system, maybe mrs. math cooks for all us degenerates friday night?
that would definitely get GPK up north
think about it


-bt-

We can maybe work this out. Let me know the time. I am sure the other passsenger will not mind, since he will probably be a few beers into his 'cappin by the time we get to Philly.

I think I would be able to swing that, but unfortunately Little Matt has a baseball game that night.

:rolleyes:

I wont be at the Belmonts... but I will be taking a Saratoga vacay from Aug 8 - 12

this sounds like it's going to be the tampa trip of the north.
dave if we're picking tom up, i want to get down on a little mid-day prx action

-bt-

Harrah's Chester has harness racing a couple miles from the airport. ;)

Let's hit'em all Friday :eek::rolleyes:

Chester
Parx
Freehold
Monmouth
Big M

and late late nite at Foxwoods.

I think if we drive by the field on the way to Monmouth I can get you Bull Durham type rain out.

:tro:

If you bring me the number of a good divorce lawyer, we might have a deal.

I am going, does anyone know if you can bring chairs into the backyard

I don't know the answer to that, but if you happen to see a bunch of drunken deranged degenerates yelling at TV screens every couple of minutes for a horse to get up for 3rd place, run the opposite direction...quickly.

Now that's kinda catchy. If I had a band, that would be a cool name

Drunken Deranged Degenerates =

Dave, does it mean he's not coming?

in all fairness, only 3/4's of the people in that picture can "legally" be drunk or degenerate (gamblers)..... just saying...

-bt-

Yeah, but he is still guilty as charged just based on association.

I might need a ruling here. But anyone who prints out the form and then gets it bound at Staples like a book, probably qualifies for the degenerate category regardless of age...........................
