These same seats can be passed down from generation to generation. Or at any point you can sell your PSL back to NYRA for the same price you paid. You can't sell on the open market, only back to NYRA. I think a clubhouse PSL would command 2K-2.5K. I think they could also sell some good grandstand seats at 1K-1.5K. I wonder if they have studied this and came up with a figure that clubhouse PSL's would command?

Good Luck with that. It's not like a football game that is played 1 day a week 8 times a year where you can plan your schedule accordingly. Compare it to baseball 81 home games with games multiple days in a row. Baseball as far as I know doesn't have a PSL license. Maybe Churchill can get away with this for Derby/Oaks day PSL but IMHO this is a non starter at other horse racing venues.
