Default Breeder's Cup Tix

Both DRF and T-Graph's sent a 'special' invitation to family and friends to purchase tix for this year before they are released to the general public. What is odd to me are both using the same promotional code (PROMOBCTIX). Is this an indication BC is thinking they may have problems selling seats in this economy?

They are definitely concerned....prices are much lower than last year (seats I purchased for $100 each last year are $40 each this year) and you don't have to buy the two day package. You can also buy tickets online and select your seats yourself rather than have the lottery thing select them - much more user friendly.

I bought mine Monday morning--all the promo codes are the same no matter which organization you are connected with.
Process is way better than the old lottery system.
Pick your price. Pick your seat.

Almost as good as your Avatar!

But more seriously I think that with all the attention on Curlin and the surface people have overlooked how good Henry and Raven's Pass were. You wo't see that every year. The Euros will likely be overbet this year even if the crop is weaker.
