*** CANCELLED ***

UPDATE #3: Due to lack of interest, I'll need to cancel this event. Everyone who paid will receive a full refund. My apologies to those who were looking forward to it (I was too). Hope it doesn't shift your weekend plans too much, and hope to see you at another event soon! Email with this message has been sent to the yes RSVPs.

UPDATE #2: Come join us THIS Saturday for a fun day-at-the-races. There are a few spots left... and since we're approaching full capacity, for any new rsvp's, please make payment immediately.

UPDATE #1: This is a reminder the early bird special will end NEXT Saturday, Sept 12. To be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be unrsvp'ing those that haven't paid by Monday, Sept 7.

Ok, it's time for a day-at-the-races!

Let's experience the exciting and colorful performance of thoroughbred racing!

I've reserved a charter bus for us, and made special arrangements with a popular horse racing venue in Maryland (about an hour away), for a day-at-the-races! We'll have our very own chauffer taking us out to the track, then back home again safely! On this all day trip:

  • We get admission fee included
  • We get reserved seating
  • We get a live program
  • We get a "Winning Techniques Introduction on How to Bet" lesson
  • We get a race named in honor of our group
  • We get an $8 credit towards food and drinks at any concession stand
  • We get our picture taken in the winner's circle with the winning jockey!

We've got an early bird special for this event. From now until September 12th, the price is just $35, yup $35! After that, it will go up to $45. Secure your slot by rsvp'ing yes *and* making payment! Come join us as we spend a fun day with others watching our favorite thoroughbreds!

We'll meet up at Ballston Metro stop (Orange line). I recommend using wmata for travel planning.

Since we've paid in advance for this charter, and since there are limited seats, all sales are final. If you can't make it, we'll help you find a replacement. Hopefully you understand we can't have people cancelling and requesting a refund, when that spot could have been filled by others. Thanks for understanding. =)
