Hello All,
A number of us are planning to convene again this year at Woodbine on
August 13/14 for a fun day of racing and comparing notes on handicapping practice. Gandalf (and Mrs Gandalf), me, Mum and several others so far are planning to attend.
In years past, if the weather is fair, we have sat on the outdoor patio, 3rd floor, Champions Lounge. All are welcome, and feel free to announce your attendance if you like.
For those of you coming from out of town, here are 3 hotels very nearby, and many, many others since this is near the airport:
1. Comfort Hotel: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Rev...o_Ontario.html 2 minutes walk to Woodbine (restaurant)
2. Woodbine Hotel and Suites: https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotel...el-Information 5 minute walk (no restaurant, though good breakfast)
3. International Plaza Hotel: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Rev...o_Ontario.html (2 nice restaurants, bar), 3 minute DRIVE
For those of you coming from the US, remember:
you DO need a Passport!
One thing I ALWAYS do when I'm near the track in the early morning is come out and watch the workouts (from the inner rail at the top of the stretch!) Maybe early Saturday, or early Sunday morning

Join me, if nearby!
Come one, come all! Looking forward to seeing folks there!
Ted
