Haskell weekend

[MaTH716]

I don't have a problem with them raising the price on a big day, that's smart business. I have a problem with them taking advantage and gouging people, which in my opinion is what they are doing. They are also using the traffic story (which is always a problem down there) as a justification for these insane prices. I don't remember it being that expensive the year Rachel was there. If they really cared about traffic and possible overcrowding, maybe they should have looked at what Belmont did and put a cap on admissions.

Not sure how other players look at it, but I personally don't correlate Horse Racing to other sporting events. Just because I'm not planning to deposit $500 into wagering pools at a football game. I feel the same way when it comes to tickets for these big days. I look at the purchase of a $100 ticket as taking away 20% of my bankroll for the day. If it reaches the point, where I feel like I'm being robbed of too much of my bankroll, I just decide to stay home.
