That sounds like it will work. Can always go out to dinner after the Wood is done.

3kings 07-03-2007 06:48 PM

actually it may be the best you will find. I haven't been to many actually but its on par with Arlington, the track. Nothing scary, actually in the restaurant it has an upscale feel. It was just renovated last year, the interior.

it might not be a bad idea given the proximity to the track. Could eat drink talk and play horses!

would need to make reservations though.

Have you had the double dog yet, it is like 18 inches long and BOMB as hell.....

(And none of you sick ****s get all hilarious with the above, Arlington has this hotdog that is the biggest dog I have ever seen, Scav = HUGE FAN)

Trust me, this place is huge, and it is the most well kept track in the country. Some hilarious person dropped a large coke and it was all over the floor, like 2 minutes there was security there, and like 4 minutes they had someone mopping it up, it is almost like NASA. I can't do any ticket firework displays when I get smoked now because I get yelled at

seeing you in action will be worth the price of admission for many out-of-towners. they may not be used to that level of action.

3kings 07-03-2007 07:09 PM
I am looking forward to the " Scav Experience" and having a beer at the bar on the second floor.

Scav is currently moving around some cash to make sure he can unload on the wise words of Charles Simon and Mr. Byk.

Tomorrow I love Ramazutti in the stakes. LOVE

It's great all you guys and girls are coming in..Don't forget that Chuck is running another horse Thursday. We're due after the Churchill screw job on Ben. So..if you aren't blowing out of town after Sumwon goes off at 1-5, stick around and cheer home the PolyHorse Parther First time Maiden Filly Starter....Bob's Bean

One thought concerning hotels...The Sheaton is so damn convenient, you should see how many rooms you need and call them and make an offer. I guarantee that you can get a great deal on 6 or 7 rooms in the middle of the week. If you want to give me the number of rooms, I have some pull with Sheraton because I travel a lot and would be glad to make the call for you guys.

OK..I'm done now...

based on proximity, the one on winnetka is very close to the track, Like one mile, just over the expressway.
