Seems like the powers that be in KY decided to throw a private party to celebrate their new old surface. Good old boys network is tough to beat IF you belong. I figure it will be awesome IF you have the juice to get involved correctly. Save that, watch on TV, which is exactly what serves the folks that made this selection.

Agree, it has the feel of a elite social event that's going to cater to A-listers and the red carpet crowd. Meanwhile, what the sport needs is new blood and more importantly new gamblers. Unfortunately, I would think that they are going to opt to stay away from the track (for various reasons) that day.

I guess there won't be paddock access if you are in one of the tent cities.

i was eager to go...now, not so much. just don't see how it would be possible.
i can imagine the ticket prices, so i guess i'll be watching from home.
may just go to another track near here and play it from a less crowded place.

How much do you figure a seat in the "Double Decker Tent" in the back of the paddock with "No Track View" will go for?

They may as well put a circus tent up in the parking lot and call that "seating".

While I understand sponsors, owners, etc, The Breeders Cup has morphed into an event for the industry insiders, by the industry insiders. The average guy or gal is not welcome. If you work in a regular job, you're not welcome. Keeneland used to be the place for the average person, heck the clubhouse is not the best vantage point. Now, Keeneland is becoming just another track.
