Default KNS TARGET: Arlington 5/17
Chuck has identified a race May 17 (Preakness Day) at Arlington Park as a target for Kickin N Screamin, who has been doing VERY well since getting back to Kentucky.

Listed as the 11th race of the day, it is 8.5f on the polytrack for $32,500 N2L claiming fillies/mares...

More as we know it...

Flight from Albany to Chicago for $202 and the Cubs are home on Sunday. Very tempting.

Tampa to Midway $119....

Sounds wonderful, but I have the worst timing in the world. I have a trip already planned for that weekend and on top of that, will not have internet access to even watch the race.

Very tempting

Looking at flying in that morning and flying back to Boston that night.

Is there public transportation between O'Hare and Arlington or is a cab the best option?

You can use the el/Metra combo, but it's kind of a pain, althought Metra (train) literally drops you at the track.

If you do cab, don't jump in the cab line as it's meter and half to AP from ORD. Do a pre-arranged ride..I can explain and give you number if you choose that route

heck..Scavs in literally 8 minutes from O'hare with SAturday traffic. I'm sure he would volunteer to be a DT taxi with his roomy SUV

if that, I go in the back way off Mannheim or whatever street that is. A great way of getting there that not many know about.....

If I have nothing going on that Saturday, I would be more then happy to pick up 3-4 people.....

As long as it isn't Midway and then galvanting to other places. I can get to Midway and back pretty easily, at least I think I can

That was my first time ever at Midway, now, I am all good. I was more interested in the protestors that were rocking it, then the environment

Hawthorne has protesters? What were they there for? Students united against inside speed biases?

I've heard all about Scavs' driving, I think it is well documented on several threads ;-)

Flight is booked and rental cars are pretty cheap in Chicago so I got a car for the day.

Thanks for all of the advice.

Now I just have to hope that everything goes as planned and she makes it to the race. Of course, I'd love the win, too.

Looking forward to meet some more DTers

Just got back from the AP barn visting the first five of Chuck's arrivals. Included are KNS who ate up carrots and mints like nobody's business. Also Hacker Craft was in a good mood and the 5 yr old maiden, Ben's League. A couple of recent claims..Rain Shower and Fading Light round out the stable. Bob's Bean arriving next week. TC in charge and all looked great after the trip.
