I was in section 118 for the 2000 BC at Churchill. These are what they call 'apron' boxes. The pitch isn't real steep, so if there is someone tall standing on the level in front of you, you won't get as good a view as you might think. Still, I can't complain. Except for the TV camera they had running overhead for every stretch run; when they reset it after the races, it sounded like something was fallling on you. Those sections are definitely uncovered and CD gestapo will confiscate any umbrellas you try to bring in. Could take in food, but no umbrella (at least it didn't rain, as it had threatened to).
