NYBS-accomodations

Postby Maureen » Tue Sep 16, 2008 6:21 am

A few of us are coming from Ontario for the sale in October and are wondering where the best/closest hotels are. Does the sales company partner with any of the major chains for special sales rates? This will be our first time attending this sale, so any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Also, do the 'PQ'ers have a get together of any kind during the sale? It would be nice to put some faces to the names. :D

I don't that the NY Breeders Sales Company has made special accommodations for prospective buyers, as most of the buyers are local....However, I have been told that that Hampton Inn is quite nice and reasonably price. The hotel has open just about two months. Everything is new and clean.

I hope you enjoy Saratoga and the sales. Good Luck with your purchases

The busy season is over, so just about all the hotels will have vacancy. The Holiday Inn is right on the corner of the road that leads from the maine drag to the track. I got a heck of a deal during the Fasig tipton Aug sale staying at Congress Court (like a block or less away from the Holiday Inn). hotel-rates.com worked well.

A get together would be fun. Or even a stop and say howdy right at the sale ground.

There are also some great Bed & Breakfasts near the track. Not sure how pricey they are, but again, it's the down season. Might be worth checking out.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there on Sunday, though trying my hardest not to raise my hand and bid on anything!

I'll be there with a booth for Darby Dan. Be sure to stop by and check out the incentives we've put together for selected mares in the sale!

Why not a Sat night in the tent meet up, since Sun morning Chris and I usually head over to the Olde Bryan Inn and watch football until the mares we want start going through the ring.
