If this is on your bucket list, the ultimate experience awaits you! There’s nothing like experiencing this one-of-a-kind event firsthand. On your way to the 2016 Escapade, in Essex Junction, Vermont, join fellow SKPs for two amazing HOPs.

For more information on this HOP, click: http://www.escapees.com/HOP/NewYorkandHudsonRiver.aspx Known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” or “The Run for the Roses,” this spectacular event draws the finest three-year-old thoroughbreds and is the first leg of the Triple Crown. Starting with the running of the Kentucky Oaks, on May 6, the winner will receive money and a spread of lilies, which is called “Lilies for the Fillies.” Be in awe of the famous regal Twin Spires; listen to the sound of the trumpet’s call to post. Get up close and listen while the jockeys get their last-minute instructions, watch the race officials conduct a final check of the equipment, horses and riders, and watch the jockeys mount their horses and head to the gates on the track.
