There were plenty of TV's and betting windows avaialble. However, as the horses ran down the stretch, you did have to run to a TV to see the finish.

Overall though, it was very relaxing and comfortable with a younger and fun crowd. We were winning that day so of course that makes it all the more enjoyable !!!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I bought a couple of tickets off of Stubhub yesterday for Friday and Saturday (same seats.) Section L in the Grandstand (between 1/16 and 1/8.) I paid the price that it would have cost for Saturday alone so I'm set. I really like Stubhub. I know a lot of tickets get comped to the BC so this guy was willing to take the money now and not try to make a killing. Tickets were delivered today so I can quit trying to figure out that part. Now on to the handicapping!

I am going to pay attention to the infield and general admission this time though. I will go visit the infield. Pretty silly to have been to so many races and never watch a race from there. BC is back at SA next year and you never know!
