I have seen them available at various online outlets for $16-$30 each. I'm not sure if I should buy now or wait until the day of the race? Thanks for any help.

I also went when Smarty Jones was there. And next year for Afleet Alex, and to the last Breeders Cup there. Never a problem getting tickets at the door. Suggest getting the cheaper grandstand (as opposed to clubhouse) tickets. There's a better view of the finish line from the grandstand, anyway.
