Spa box sales?
My NYRA insider just informed me that they have taken away 100 clubhouse boxes from regular patrons for the upcoming Saratoga meet. Some of these boxes have been used by the same folks for years. The plan is to sell each box for $450 per day. Do they really believe someone will pay that for a weekday at Saratoga? Maybe Saturdays. Also, the prices will of course be increased for Travers weekend.
NYRA, loyal as always!!

We'll see just how accurate this is... I just called Jerry Davis, who runs Admissions, and will get the facts.

For great seats on a saturday $450 is cheap. NYRA has to wake up and earn. Finally a decision from them that makes sense. I know it isn't a popular one but its a sound one. I just made ribs last night trust me folks Steve will be raising the prices on them this year, food costs are up 30% from last year this time.

Spoke to Jerry Davis who says VP Gavin Landry, as Cathy Marino before him, handles this arena. He isn't available today, but I was having him on ATR next week anyway and will get this addressed.
The boxholder list is reviewed annually for both Belmont and Saratoga, and there are reasons to move people around, etc. That isn't anything new. We'll see about the rest of what is suggested above as soon as I can get a response.

It is $45,000 a day. So it works out to over $1,000,000 a summer. That is an extra $1,000,000 for the NYRA board to spend on dinners and entertainment.

You might want to be careful what you believe in the future from your NYRA insider. The number is not even close to 100.

Anyone got any leads on a contact or good way to try and snag some Clubhouse seats for this weekend? Craigslist has been a bust so far.
