Breeders Cup - Best Seats?

cboh11 · #1 10-19-2007, 08:08 AM

Hello all,

I made the silly mistake of becoming the high bidder on ebay for several Breeders Cup tickets for next Saturday's event. As of now I have tickets in the 900s (which is top of the stretch) and the 400s (at the first turn in the "Grey Goose Clubhouse.")

Has anyone been to Monmouth and can give me insight as to which tickets are better for placing bets/viewing racing action? I've never been and i'm clueless!

Thanks.

Section 400 doesn't exist under normal time, it's temporary seating. My guess is Section 900 would be better.

I keep looking for the hidden message and/or picture in your signature and I can't find it.

I have only been to Monmouth once but I'm attending the BC. The difference between the two sections is that 400 is well past the wire and judging by the seating maps it is mostly on the Clubhouse turn. I would say the view from section 900, which spans from the 1/4 Pole until roughly mid-stretch would be much better.

I suppose in a way it depends on whether you have a strong preference for being in front of or behind the wire.

ps I love this quote:

I think OJ said the same thing.....

Total crapshoot on the placing bets question if you are in the temporary seating.

I'm sitting in Section 9-something. . . The view seems ok. . .

I tried to sell my extra seats to Patrick on Ebay but sadly, I cannot accept cobra venom in trade.

If the syringe doesn't fit, you must acquit.
