This is my first Breeders Cup. We are planning on leaving immediately after the Classic and stopping in Cincinnati on our way back home to Ohio.

I read you need a pass to park at the track. Would suck to get turned away.

We always stay at the Microtel Inn either in Georgetown or Lexington, whichever is cheaper. Not a great hotel by any means but rooms are clean and both locations are good. Checked daily last year until that weekend was available to book.
Was close to $200 a night at Georgetown. $73 a night for Lexington which isn't much more than what we normally pay. They are independently owned, the Georgetown owner was on the ball.
My wife is going to take pictures. I decided not to buy tickets. I think I'll enjoy myself more staying in the room and watching it on TV or on my tablet.
