Not sure yet... will be year #12 for me. No booze in the apron box this year?!?!? Where you read that?

I've sat in the "top of the stretch" seats several times, and I'd highly recommend them. Beautiful view of the start, private betting windows, etc. If there's no booze allowed in the apron box i'll probably be getting them this year.

i could be wrong, gonna call pimlico to make sure, but i thought i heard someone saying that they were no longer gonna allow booze in the clubhouse, since CHD and BEL don't allow it

Ah, I think that means you can't bring your own booze into the clubhouse/grandstand (gotta buy theirs), which would be consistent with the rules at Belmont. I could be wrong, though.
