(Updated February 4, 2010)

We are pleased to present our 2010 trip schedule.

Note that the trip lengths as described include the departure date from the U.S., the arrival date at the destination, and the earliest return date to the U.S. In most cases, one of the nights will be spent en route overseas.

As always, the trips are designed for easy extension, either before or after the scheduled dates, for those who want a longer stay abroad.

We hope you will find one or more of our 2010 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.

Anyone interested in horse racing should make a point of taking in Epsom and its great races at least once. The Derby and The Oaks are true sporting originals dating back to the 1700s, and are the inspiration for all such-named races worldwide. The unique racecourse has to be seen — and walked — to be believed and appreciated. The French Derby at Chantilly, historic in its own right, is run the same weekend and those of us with extra ambition will go over for the day to see it. A special treat on this trip is an overnight stay in Newmarket and an extensive visit to its training center and to area farms. We'll also have an evening's racing at one of England's most charming smaller courses and some associated sightseeing.

This year, finally make the time to experience Deauville, the "Saratoga/Del Mar" of France. Even if it means missing a bit of the actual Saratoga and Del Mar just this once, we promise you won't be sorry. One of our favorite places in the world to go racing, this beautiful, elegant, and pedestrian-scale seaside town has everything close at hand — including two racecourses, great dining, and France's major concentration of Thoroughbred breeding farms just inland. We'll be there for the season's best racing and for France's most important yearling sale. There are more things to do and see here than we'll be able to get to in a week, but we'll give it our best shot — you can always stay on. An important part of the itinerary will be a full-day's excursion to the 1944 D-Day landing beaches.

Argentina has a rich history of breeding and racing and, in Buenos Aires, one of the most fascinating cities on the planet. Our trip will be built around major days at its two principal racecourses: we'll be at Palermo for the biggest day of the year, featuring the Argentine Derby and Oaks plus other Group 1 racing, and at San Isidro for the Group 1 Gold Cup. Included will be visits to breeding farms and barns during morning training. We'll have a good look at B.A.'s most interesting neighborhoods and organize optional further exploration. There will of course be tango and a traditional Argentine asado (barbecue). Weather and unpredictable scheduling permitting, we hope to also see some football and polo. Before or after our trip dates there are a number of worthwhile excursions you may wish to consider making on your own to other parts of this beautiful country.
