Anyone with working knowledge of Monmouth Park have any insight on Section 500? Good? Bad?

Those seats look to be very good seats, although they will be temporary bleachers. They are directly infront of the clubhouse and on the apron so pray for no rain, as if we all weren't going to be doing that anyway. All in all not a bad place to see the races from. You will be past the wire but not by much depending on where the actual seats are it could be upto 100 yards, probably not much more.
As an aside I'm kinda pissed
at the NJSEA with the "Second Chance" offering and the way it all played out. In my mind they should have reassigned o0r at least offered the people who got tickets via the lottery the better seats and then made their old seats available in the "second chance" offering. So as it turns out by "winning" the lottery I actually "lost" and got worse seats than I could have gotten in the second chance. Enough venting.
As it turns out my seats are somewhere on the clubhouse turn and I'm not happy about that, but at least I'll have a seat. Not to worry though I'll get to see the horses jog to the gate for the sprint and the turf and jog out after the finish and jog back to the unsaddleing area
. There I go venting again.
