Racing Europe Announces 2018 Dates
May 28-June 4: Baden Baden, Germany
We return to Germany’s best racing venue, 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. From our lodging at the renowned Brenners Park Hotel, 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. This trip will close on April 2.
October 1-8 : France for the Arc de Triomphe
The greatest horse race in the world — the Arc de Triomphe — will be “back home” at the newly remodeled Longchamp Racecourse in Paris after a two-year hiatus. During our week we’ll have additional racing at Longchamp and also at Saint-Cloud and Compiegne. A 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 special 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. Our hotels are the new Auberge de Jeu de Paume in the heart of Chantilly and the traditionally luxurious Raphael in Paris.
Early to mid-March 2019: New Zealand
Following on our successful and much-enjoyed trips to Australia, we journey south of the equator again for our first expedition to this place long known for its scenic beauty and its high-quality racehorse production. March is fall in New Zealand, and arguably the best time to visit. Included will be major Group 1 racing at the country’s two most important tracks in Auckland and Wellington and some additional rural small-track racing. We’ll also have a a stay in the Waikato, home of most of New Zealand’s major breeding farms. A number of exceptional non-racing activities will be incorporated.
