We are pleased to present the schedule for 2018, our 15th season of operating international racing trips. We've also included some basic advance information on a trip planned for early 2019.
Note that the trip lengths as described include the latest 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 itineraries are designed for easy extension, either before or after the scheduled dates, for those who are wanting a longer stay abroad.
We hope you will find one or more of our upcoming trips appealing. Please don’t hesitate to call or email us if you have any questions or if you would like to be listed to go on one. We look forward to hearing from you and to going racing with you in 2018.
BADEN BADEN
MAY 28 to JUNE 4, 2018
8 days, 7 nights (including one en route)
We return to Baden Baden, where we had such a great time on our first visit in 2016. While enjoying the restful old-world atmosphere of this famous spa town, we'll see the sport in a luxury lounge and front-row boxes at Germany's best racing venue. We'll get a good look at the increasingly influential German bloodstock industry by way of a farm visit and a sale. We'll cruise a river, have a mountain-top dinner, see Heidelberg, and offer an optional excursion to historic Strasbourg in France. And you'll have time to try your hand at one of the world's most beautiful casinos and "take the cure" in the traditional way.
6 nights in Baden Baden
2 days of racing at Iffezheim Racecourse
Farm visit and the mixed 2-year-old Breeze-Up and Horses-in-Training Sale

ARC WEEK IN FRANCE
OCTOBER 1 to OCTOBER 8, 2018
8 Days, 7 Nights (including one en route)
The greatest horse race in the world -- the Arc de Triomphe -- returns to the newly remodeled Longchamp Racecourse in Paris after a two-year hiatus. During the week we'll have additional racing at Longchamp and also at Saint-Cloud and Compiegne. Our longer stay in Chantilly this trip will allow us an extended visit to the major French training area and also more time for the other very worthwhile attractions in town. We'll attend the Arc-eve sale of horses-in-training, and include some other non-racing activities. You can take a day off from the track or extend in Paris to enjoy the city at the height of its best season.
3 nights in Paris, 3 nights in Chantilly
4 days of racing at Longchamp, Saint-Cloud, and Compiegne
Training area visit in Chantilly
The Arc-eve Sale of Horses in Training
