We’re pleased to present the schedule for 2024, our 19th season of operating international racing trips. 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 2024.

(With a Possible Optional Excursion to the French Derby)
MAY 27 to JUNE 2 or 3, 2024
7 or 8 days, 6 or 7 nights (including one en route)
Our England trip highlights the "Originals", the world's most famous and influential Classic races, both contested over the uniquely challenging Epsom course which must be seen -- and walked -- to be appreciated. Plus: a stay in Newmarket, England's major training center and the cradle of organized Thoroughbred racing, where we'll see morning works and visit farms, the Jockey Club, and the excellent racing museum. We'll also have a walking tour of Windsor and Eton, including a visit to the Castle. We hope to be able to offer a one-day extension for a day trip to France for the French Derby.

DEAUVILLE
AUGUST 5 to AUGUST 12, 2024
8 Days, 7 Nights (including one en route)
Deauville is our favorite place to go racing in the world. It has everything -- two racecourses, a seaside location, great dining, old-world elegance, and all of it within walking range of our hotel. And France’s best horse farms lie just inland. We’ll be there for some of the summer season’s finest racing and an important part of our week will be a full-day excursion to the D-Day landing beaches. We'll look in on Honfleur too. Deauville combines the best of Saratoga, Del Mar, and Kentucky -- and then adds just that bit more.
6 nights in Deauville
3 days of racing at Deauville and Clairefontaine
Farm visits in Normandy
A Half-Day Excursion to Honfleur
A Full-Day Excursion to the D-Day landing beaches and associated sites
