ROAD TRIP!! Northfield Park (Luvin Affection) and The Meadows (Serious Dragon)

#1 · August 27, 2024, 8:31 PM

The path back to my youth is like Deja Vu all over again. Tomorrow afternoon, I am going with a friend, and we are driving straight through to Northfield Park. We should arrive about an hour and a half before Luvin Affection's race.

The only distraction will be live-streaming the Meadows enroute to watch Manhattan Moni who's racing in the afternoon.

After what we hope will be a joyous celebration after Luvin Affection's race, we will get some rest and then resume our most excellent adventure by driving to The Meadows on Thursday to watch Serious Dragon compete in the afternoon. After what we hope will be the capper to our trip we will head on back to New York.

@Amac we hope to see you at both tracks and meet you with a hearty handshake and a pat on the back for luck and for smiles after the race.

It's going to be even hotter tomorrow than it was today. Thank goodness for air conditioning and good friends.

Please don't forget when at the Catskills, find Baby, and ask her if she's still having the time of her life! (or show her one before you leave)

I'm peanut butter and jealous, it's gonna be FFFFFFUUUUUNNNNN!

Call me if y'all need to get bailed out of jail.

What does Baby look like so I'll know if I find the right one? Don't post her picture here though 🙂

Lonnie,

I hope you see this in time to alter your plans.

MGM Northfield Park cancels Wednesday program

That sucks. Hopefully, Lonnie and friend find out in time. Perhaps two days at the meadows, but depending on how hotel booked, may be additional pain.

About five years ago I stating taking a week long trip starting near Chicago and hitting tracks and state/national parks ending with a weekend visit to see my son who went to school out east.

One year at the Meadows after race one or two there was a no delay with no information given. Apron rumor was a medical situation in paddock then a driver revolt over pot testing. Dragged on for at least 90 minutes. I was planning to head to Harrisburg for the auction so still had a decent drive ahead and still no information from the track. So I left and headed to Penn National. Missed out on my day a year at The Meadows.

Later read the results, I forget how long delay lasted. Most of the drivers did not race so many trainers were the drivers.

I can feel your pain. Although my drive was shorter I went to Northfield last year and all that smog/smoke from Canada cancelled the races that night.

This year I went to Scioto and Aunt Lilly's race was cancelled. I'm running HOT!! 🙂 Safe travels

We found out just as we reached Binghamton. Our partner got the email from Kelly, as he is the nominal owner of Luvin Affection, and he emailed us. It's truly a blessing. Normally he can't access his email at work.

We were torn on whether to soldier on and go ahead to the Fair at Canton, and then go on to The Meadows as planned. The Canton Fair was a new wrinkle that we added while we on our way. Or, turn around and go home.

Cooler and logical heads prevailed and we turned around.

I can't imagine how we would have felt should we have gone to Northfield Park only to find that they weren't racing tonight (though their 4:00 PM Qualifiers were still scheduled).

I can't imagine. And now, I don't have to!
