Santa Anita has a beautiful infield, and hosts many events there. On weekends its a great place to hang out.

Richie & Roger,

Boys, Boys, Boys you disappointment me!

Frank D. would never be associated with cheapening the image of our beloved Richiebee; actually I\'d love to patten him and take him on the road.

It would be Richiebee and the Heineken girls with race track treasures from Uncle Bill Spillane and free admission to a T-graph seminar bundled with a sheet package for $99. It would be premium beer and straight from Milwaukee bratwurst with a possible comeback of the Carolina BBQ signature sandwich the Frank D. (BBQ pot roast with horseradish & Carolina red sauce)

In the words of George C. Scott in Patton \"pearl handled revolvers;only a cheap New Orleans pimp would have pearl handled pistols,these are Ivory\"

People actually pay these prices??

I love horse racing, don\'t mind shelling out several hundred for BC weekend.

I get that it\'s the Triple Crown, history, all that.

But 3+ dimes a seat??

P-Dub:

 That is a price listed on Stub Hub; no assurance that the \"asked\" will be a
\"bid\" for somebody. I\'m sure this asking price will be reduced incrementally each
day there is no bid on this seat. Also my reporting is incomplete as I would like
to be able to share what the face value of this ticket is.

These seats have a great sight line and can be had on any non event day for the
general admission cost of $5.

As to what I would pay, probably no more than $200 for a decent seat, and this
would be mostly to see how NYRA performs under pressure. These long days of racing
with long intervals between races are tailor made for Living Room Downs.

Sections N, O and P on second floor are part of \"extended Clubhouse\". Face value is 175 for Saturday with a $25 ticket for Friday. (Which had to be purchased)

That is my favorite track
