Breeder's Cup Tickets, anyone going?
 

Just got a letter in the mail saying that I will be in section 125...anyone else going? Now I just need to figure out how I am going to get there.

LOL, my dude Haber.

Yep!...Be Front Row Joe-ing it......can't wait to cash my ticket on Henny Hughes in the Sprint :D

hahaha thanks ateam....how is life lately? still in the studio?

No sir, I hung up the mic. The business is wack now. I still battle Kasept once in a while though, and I don't have to tell you who gets wrecked..

hahaha i wish i could see a battle at Kasept's BBQ this summer at saratoga

Haber, how many you have? You think you could handle a Saturday with me, at Churchill?

I am going to try, I went the last time at Churchill. The local sports radio show had trivia call in contests almost daily for about 2 weeks before the BC. The questions were easy and it was easy to get in, I guess people around here weren't that enthused to go to the BC, the seats were great, in a box right at the finish line.

Here's the questions, I had to answer:

Who's the oldest jockey to win a BC?

Who's the oldest trainer to win a BC?
What horse did he do it with?

shoemaker/ferdinand/whittingham?

Close:

Shoemaker/Whittingham/Sunday Silence

I ordered them however have not heard anything. I hope to hear soon.

I went to the last BC at Belmont and have to say that I was disapointed with how NYRA ran the whole thing. Slow tellers, little to no tote machines. It was a total mess in my eyes. It completely affected my handicapping and prevented me from calling audibles on my bets throughout the day. I'm hesitant to go to Churchill this year because of last years experience. I'm wondering if this is typical for BC day or will Churchill do a better job of running it. I would love to go if I thought it is going to be run better. I'm wondering if anybody has any insight on Churchill during the big days.

Haber I know I am not one of your favorite people in the world but yes I will be their.

scav...as of right now I only have 2 tickets and I am going with a friend...

curt...i wouldn't mind meeting you, do you know where you will be sitting?

not yet but I will holla at ya when I know. only going down Saturday

anyone gotten there notice yet?

My friend and I are going to try & make the trip from VA. Maybe we'll see some of you guys there!

I got mine in the mail friday with my seat assignment...

I see. I was wondering if they'd let us know even if we didnt get chosen.
my whole family ordered them....I hope one of us gets them.

You might have gotten chosen before hand because you work for Churchill Downs....makes sense if you ask me

I sent in my app months ago, but haven't heard a peep from NTRA. Figure they'd give you an email notice or something of the like.

My folks found out today that they are going....just waiting for mine now.

What section are their seats?

By God, I say we make a time and place in the paddock, or somewhere. I'll w/o a doubt will be there. I would really like to meet some of you guys. i think it will be a GREAT time!!!!

I think they said something about 125. Not real sure.

just checked airfare from Tampa - $230 round trip. If I dont get selected...what are my chances scoring a ticket when I get there?

anyone know where it will be in 2008 ?

Wonder if I lost the lottery?
 

I haven't heard a thing. And I am planning on going.

smooth sailing. some of the local Ticket Brokers here in Columbus, Ohio that I have purchased Buckeye tickets from have said that the highest we (me, my pal and his wife) are looking at around $125 a ticket max for great seats. I trust these cats cause they have been around forever.

Thats from Orbits.com. If anyone else has it cheaper, let me know. If I dont get selected, there is a 50-50 chance that I'll still go and hopefully get a ticket there. Do they sell any tickets the day of the race?

BC tickets aren't usually that terribly hard to come by, particularly at a pretty good venue like Churchill. I just can't believe I haven't heard from NTRA yet.

Did I hear correctly that Churchill will be getting it every other year now? I thought I read that somewhere. Well, I could have wrote down and then read it, I guess. :D

2007 is Monmouth, no idea bout 2008.

I learned today that I will be in section 124. My folks are in the club house somewhere.

Got my notification today (7/19) ... will be in Sec 222 .... i'm planning on catching the Friday card also

Well don't feel too bad, I have not heard a thing either.

I guess it takes a while longer to get mail to rural Virginny, eh?

It must take longer to get to Florida, too. I had to call to find out. I still havnt received my invoice yet. The woman that I spoke to said that she just sent out the last batch of invoices at 2 PM est yesterday (7/19/06).
