I can't believe they are daring to add the "car attendees"... You are tailgating. You won't see a horse except on the big screen TVs. You'll be better served sitting in your home and saving your travel $$ and betting. I really wanted to go to a Breeders Cup not in California. Being on the East Coast and a young middle class mom with a small child excludes me from spending excess amounts of cash on travel and entertainment. We have done Churchill for BC and enjoyed it immensely. When they announced KEENELAND I was elated. That's a mere 5 hour drive and one night in an overpriced hotel and at most 2 days of a babysitter for the kiddo. Sad part is I've realized a trip to Santa Anita would actually be cheaper most likely (and far more enjoyable) than this years BC would be. Very, very disappointing but there will be more breeders cups. I'm just embarrassed how badly the ticketing system worked and how badly the average fan was treated.
