Posted by Scanman While updating my list of tracks (worldwide), I stumbling upon you site. We definitely share a kindred spirit and passion for "the game". My primary focus is to attend thoroughbred dedicated meets, with an emphasis on steeplechase racing. Currently, my catalog lists 1216 tracks in 69 countries. To date, I've been to 188 in 13 countries. Going to make the Velká Pardubická (famous steeplecase race) at Pardubice, Czech Republic number 200. Here's my list: United States - 49 United Kindgom - 54 Australia - 20 Germany - 30 France - 16 Switzerland - 4 Belgium - 4 Sweden - 3 Canada - 2 Italy - 2 Ireland - 2 Mexico - 1 The Netherlands - 1 I wish I would have chronicled my trips as you have. Yours make for great reading and provide extremely useful information. I would be happy to share any of my experiences with you and any of the other contributors to this forum. As for 2006, I will be in Europe in mid-May and will visit Ghlin (Belgium), Auteuil and St Cloud (France). I have a small 4 track run over Memorial weekend planned (Fairmount, Indiana Downs, Great Lakes Downs and Churchill Downs). Still working on how to fit in 4 more tracks before heading to the Czech Republic in October. I would be happy to hear from you or any of the other forum contributors. Scanman (aka Tom)
