Racing-Europe - 2007 Trips

Proud Partner of

Thoroughbred Owners
and Breeders Association
Lexington, Kentucky

We are pleased to present our 2007 trip schedule.

The trip lengths as described include the latest departure date from the U.S., the arrival day in Europe, and the earliest return date to the U.S. In most cases, one of the nights will be spent en route to Europe. As always, the trips are designed for easy extension, either before or after the scheduled dates, for those who wish a longer stay in Europe.

Please note our Ireland trip is operating as a private departure in 2007, and therefore we are not offering a "brochure"-type trip there as part of our regular schedule. We expect to have Ireland back on the menu in 2008, together with an expanded list of itineraries.

We hope you will find one or more of our 2007 trips of interest. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us if you have any questions about the trips, or if you would like to be listed to go on one. We look forward to hearing from you.

TWO DERBYS WEEK
MAY 29 to JUNE 5, 2007
8 Days, 7 Nights (including one en route)

One of our most popular itineraries every year, this trip features the originals of all the world's Derby and Oaks races - the 2007 renewals will be the 228th and 229th respectively - contested over the historic and unique racecourse at Epsom near London. The same weekend we also get to see the French Derby, a relative newcomer having only its 167th running. Newmarket and Chantilly are the major training centers for England and France, and we'll have an extended look at both.

3 nights in London, 3 nights in Chantilly
3 days of racing at Epsom and Chantilly
Training area visits in Newmarket and Chantilly

A fast and packed week featuring three of Europe's
most prestigious 3-year-old classics on three consecutive days.

A WEEK IN DEAUVILLE
AUGUST 12 to AUGUST 20, 2007
9 Days, 8 Nights (including one en route)

This year, take a short break from Saratoga or Del Mar and join us for a full week at this seaside resort, the summer focus of racing in France. There's racing most days at the town's two courses, and France's major concentration of stud farms is just inland, easily available for our visits. The premier yearling sale of the year will start while we're there, and the town will be crawling with European racing people all week. The local dining's not bad, either. And we'll also make a full-day's excursion to the D-Day landing beaches, something every American should see at least once in life.

7 nights in Deauville
4 days of racing at Deauville, Clairefontaine, and Cabourg
Farm visits in Normandy
The Deauville Select Yearling Sale
An Excursion to the D-Day Landing Beaches

Racing and so much more by the sea in France.

ASCOT & THE ARC
SEPTEMBER 27 to OCTOBER 8, 2007
12 Days, 11 Nights (including one en route)

The Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris on the first Sunday in October is the most significant race of the year in Europe. Eleven Group races are run over the two-day Arc Weekend meeting, and we'll also have the chance to go racing at Chantilly, Saint-Cloud, and Vincennes during our stay in Paris. Prior to that, our time in London will be built around an important race day at Ascot. And we'll have some small-course racing and visits to farms and training centers in England too.

5 nights in London, 5 nights in Paris
5 days of racing at Ascot, Windsor, Chantilly, and Longchamp
Training area and Farm visits in England and France

Two great cities. A major racing day at Ascot
and Arc Weekend at Longchamp. Small course racing
