Wife and I will be there on Saturday. Last minute thing so all the good seats on their site are sold out.

Was looking on stubhub:

We have never been there for live racing, are those prices ($40+ a ticket) worth it? I just don't know what to expect

I've only had seats at Keeneland when someone gave them to me. I spend most of my time in the paddock, anyway, and the rest at the window or watching the race from whatever vantage point I find. In my opinion, don't spend the money on seats -- you'll have more to wager.

Purchased tickets for fall meet opening week end last year at the last moment. Their site said sold out but I called the Keeneland ticket office and even got seating in the section I wanted. Also there were alot of empty seats. Go figure

i concur with everyone else who said seats aren't necessary unless your old and frail (no offense)...lots of good vantage points in the general admission
