I think I'm passing on this one. Date does not really work out for me. Have a great time to all who go.

It's likely a pass from us as well.  The airfares aren't favorable.  If we do go, it will be a post-time decision and we will drive.  So, of course, it will be a factor of weather and whether we have a horse racing Saturday night at Northfield Park.

The latest status has Rich and me driving to Cleveland on the 28th and back to New York after the Open House, weather permitting.

I am now up in the air. I may also drive in on the 28th. Weather is the key, there can be brutal lake effect snow on the route from my house  to Northfield. I'll work from "home" Monday/Tuesday and head back on the 1st. Might make home The Meadows on Monday.

Safe travels to you all.  Can you post a personalized video or picture(s) for those of us that can’t make it?

Quote from Lonnie on December 22, 2024, 9:23 AM

Thank you!  I will take lots of pictures and/or videos to share.

It sounds like Irresistible Son will return to the races on Saturday, December 28th, at Dayton, Ohio.  Two-thirds on the New York crew are considering all methods that could get us to Dayton on Saturday (post time is 4:00 PM) and then go to the Open House on Sunday.

Wish us luck!  Please!!

Good luck. I hope the logistics work out. 

Last year I drove to Dayton on Friday and then to the  Northfield area after the races, but I am only 4.5 hours away from Dayton.

In AMac’s 3 year old video yesterday, the following trotters may all be entered for Dayton on Saturday:

• Irresistible Son
• Memoryimagination
• International Man
• Ready For Landing
• And, maybe…Casanova Hall

Fingers crossed on the weather, because I want to see Rich and Lonnie on site and in the winner’s circle at least once.  I will be watching from Washington State and living vicariously through your experiences.
Dayton entry deadline for Saturday is 1 pm today, so we should know soon.
