Travers Day - anybody going as a day trip?

[joeydb]

Considering making the drive to Saratoga on August 24th, and I live about 3 hours away. I won't need a hotel, but since I've never been there and knowing what a huge draw the Travers is, was hoping for some info from the veterans.

I have questions like:

Does it sell out, ticketwise, or will I be able to get in regardless of how crowded it is?

How's the parking situation - remote lot is fine as long as I know where it is.
