I'm with you on that. My comment was more tongue-in-cheek, especially after the failed attempt at the bettor's boycott Saturday that saw handle go up 7%.

I do think a couple of seats at a discount for a owner wouldn't asking too much, though. Throw a little bone out there......

Winners circle and paddock to be eliminated to make room for more 42k tables at Churchill...im just kidding but it almost sounds plausible in the twlight zoneof racing we are in

I have no idea. When I've been to CD and Ellis Park, I see names on several of the box seats. I just figure that those owners/trainers purchase a "season pass" or something along those lines.

I wouldn't expect owners/trainers to get free seats on Oaks or Derby Day, but I would think some kind of discount would be offered. Guess I'm just being naive on this subject....
