These guys just make me want to puke. I'm so sick of these whining, spoiled primadonna's who think the game owes them.
Yes, and the owners and trainers should pay $50 for parking, too.

Will the wives of players in the World Series get admission and seats? Probably. If the players were told otherwise, there would be a riot.

The jocks generally get 2 free seats and the option to buy more. This year, they get nothing. The jocks generally get free and convenient parking. This year, nothing. I don't blame them for speaking out. It seems to me that on many levels the Breeders' Cup is shooting itself in the foot. Ticket prices are close to date rape. No alcohol may be brought in, but I'm sure plenty will be sold and 3x the standard rate. Parking is offsite and costs $50. Now participants are told that they cannot get a free pass for their wife to come and see the damned event! Makes no sense to me.
