Woodbine Meetup - Aug 13/14

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!

Sounds good, you can count me in, are you planning for 2 days of racing? Or are you picking the day that has the best weather?

As well, there’s a free shuttle service to Woodbine Racetrack from most of the nearby hotels, and seeing that the track is located right beside the airport, there are a lot of hotels to pick from.

Morning workouts? I’ll have to get back to you on that, Hoof needs his beauty sleep.

Well, at least Saturday August 13. I'll be staying in town for the 14th as will a few others, so it may simply be whoever's there, or whoever couldn't make it the Saturday.

Ted

Good Hoof, thanks for asking. Not as fast as I would like on a day to day basis,but looking back over the longer period quite impressive according to my therapist.
