In terms of the GA, it's a mess. People (myself included) line up about 4:45 outside the gates to run in at 6AM and grab a table in the backyard.

If you don't care about a table and still want a good GA seat, bring a lawn chair but still get there early when the gates open. Every other day of the meet, I'd day you'd be fine leaving the chair with a paper on it and coming back later in the day. But Travers day is for tourists and they don't always obey the usually Saratoga rules.

If you want a seat seat the after-market is the way to go. But it ain't cheap unless you get real lucky.

That's all i got.

So what would you suggest for getting in?
I called the track who said that I could go to the Holiday Inn the night before the Travers and the sell reserved seating. I have no problem being a rail bird or hanging out at that back yard. I just want to make sure Im in, I guess.
