Monmouth to The Spa trip.

Good advice. As of right now, the little man loves watching the horses and we spend 3-4 hours at Monmouth no problem. I should time our arrival close to post time however. Good call. Mommy and AJ might be making an early exit if it's raining or hot though, and daddy will be on foot, hitchhiking or taking a cab back to the hotel.

Good Luck . Let me know how you make out as I am taking my 11 yo son ( w/ autism) on Travers week. He loves horses and wants to go to Woodbine. So we are doing the tour of Saratoga/Woodbine. We are 70 miles south of you .

Anyone ever do the breakfast tour/program with their kids?

I did the morning patrol at Monmouth and it was pretty cool.

Thanks. I remember you posting that last year. Hope to go to the one at Monmouth once he completes his summer camp..

if you can get him to nap during the ride I would suggest just going right to Saratoga.. the nightlife & area there in the evening is just as much of an experience as the racing. You guys can explore downtown.
