thats why i never worry about seats, for most big events like this...i just go general admission. you can walk somewhere and probably see better anyway. "it takes dynamite to get me up.....too much of anything is just enough...one more thing i just have to say...i need a miracle everyday"!!!!!!!

Except for the fact that Churchill was brilliantly redesigned with no apron and the paddock area is very tiny.

i know you are right...but you read my mind too...i love the paddock area at every track. if i'm "on track' i want to see the horses. people will think i'm nuts. but i find the seats kind of boring.

Me too, that is probably why my favorite tracks are those with the best paddocks and I could care less about the boxes, dining rooms etc.

Might be a good topic for a separate thread. What are your favorites?

It's sounding like I may end up doing this anyway. Won't know until Friday that the wife will be ok to leave in my son's care and that's really to late to set up anything. If someone ends up with a last minute back out, then I may be able to do that, but I really would like to have a table or a surface in front of me. Could be that I get there early enough to get a table or a shelf and just be happy with that.

Thanks for the input folks.
