You'll have no trouble getting in.
I have never had a reserved seat Travers Day, and I've been to many. I lug in a folding chair and a cooler. I generally try to get a section of "lawn" (it's worn down to dirt by then) by the paddock unless the weather looks crappy. No glass bottles in the coolers, BTW. I hang on the rail to watch the races. Some like to stand above the reserved seats to watch, but I like being right there, although the view ain't so good. Check out different observations spots early in the day and settle in a good spot the race before the Travers.
It's a fun day.
I try to get there by around 11:00 and that's generally early enough, as I am not grabbing a picnic table. However, I will be going with my daughter and her friend this year and won't be in charge of the itinerary, so we'll see....
