Wood Memorial - Sumwon Partners

[Grits]

Thinking of possibly driving up . . . I just looked at the 10 day weather forecast for NY.

Folks, there's only going to be a 45 degree high on Saturday and with any wind blowing off that bay that's mighty chilly.

Gotta think a bit on this one, having not bothered with early reservations and such.

44 is COLD with wind.

For us girls raised in the south, it's cold even without the wind! Have fun, dg!

C'Mon girl...pack a jacket and hat...and watch the Big A races and Keeneland. I'll go early and get a table in the Man 'O War room if your coming. I'd like to meet up with all the other DT'ers attending.

SC,

I'd think if one doesn't have dining reservations by now, that would be iffy.

I'll work on a hotel first. One that will accept my little dog.

And you're right, I can handle the cold, that's not a problem.

The problem is finding something not horribly far from Aqueduct, but SAFE, if you know what I'm saying.

When I stay on Long Island I don't have to worry, but near Jamaica and Ozone Park . . . whole 'nuther matter.

The Man O War room is public no admission...1st come 1st serve. If you get there early enough, you can snag tables. Just like Saratoga outside.

Hotels: Now thats a different story....we (St Johns) have some local hotels, but I'm not sure about pets!

Let me know.

SC, I'll let you know something by later this evening, see what I can work out.

This is a blessing compared to the sleet and less than 30 degree temps sniper and I endured last year. We were the only people outside to look at the horses.

Thw Wood Memorial is approaching quickly.

Between this, Sumwon's first start for us and the prospect of a NY Bred Partnership, it is safe to say I'm getting fired up.

Any suggestions on where/when we should get together at the Wood. Based on weather forecast, I am thinking we should shoot for indoors.

I would suggest Man 'O War Room. Maybe 1/2 hour before first Post, or between two of the earlier races.

What do you think?

We're driving down from Albany so I'm not sure if we will make it there in time for first post...between two of the earlier races would probably be easiest.

No offense pointman, but my Brother-In-Law is also a bit of a late sleeper, so that's probably a good idea anyway.

So, in between races it is...

[Storm Cadet]

Wow, forecast for saturday is 30's to 40's. This won't be fun at the Big A for sure.

Does anyone know the time of the second race?
