This is my first visit, so PLEASE, can I get advice about how to get clubhouse seats, see the training track, whether or not to go to the breakfast and tours that I read about on the Toga site? What are the best parties after the races?

Also, where's everyone meeting up? This will be my first time meeting anyone, except Genuinerisk, so I won't be able to just recognize anyone.

Thanks for any advice and help.

Breakfast Buffet is OK (I'd make reservations if you can). Best view of the horses in the morning though is bringing a breakfast and taking it up to an owner's box and watching the works from there.

I'd call to see if there are any seats available. Worse case, if you have to go Grandstand, the view is still pretty decent and the area isn't too badly crowded.
