The Frontrunners restaurant will be way above the obstructed view. It is a great place to watch the races. I dont know how reservations will work that day but if you could get a seat at a table that would be the way to go. On most days Frontrunners only requires a clubhouse admission stamp on your hand and you can mingle at the bar and watch the races from the trackside windows or watch on TV. I would think that wont be the case on BC day.

A second person on a different forum confirmed my friends findings. You might want to call SA main switchboard and ask to speak to someone about BC seating to confirm. I certainly wouldnt want to pay $100-$300 for seats, per day for two days worth of racing, to not be able to see the backside.
i have no inside info but i would be stunned if they had frontrunner's open for any schmo that bought a clubhouse admission.

it's too good a location not to be locked down for someone paying huge $. they'd be nuts to give those seats away for clubhouse admission and the cost of a meal on bc day.
