Just being around the Horse Park then should be exciting itself. Plus, outside the Horse Park, Lexington is also planning a festival of events. Another thing I was thinking of, having press credentials will also get us access to the media center. I haven't been in a sporting event media center (er, "press box") since before the Internet Revolution. Not that I want to go rubberneck, but if I'm going to cover events, I'll need high-tech on-site access. Have Netbook, little snappy digital camera and thumb drives -- will travel. :) Those are great points, Jackie. Just being around the Horse Park then should be exciting itself.

I was debating on whether or not to pick up tickets just to be on the safe side, but hated to have the expense if I did get in as press. You make the excellent point that they can always be sold! The good thing is that you can still get in to enjoy the Horse Park, the vendors, and the event even if you don't pay extra to get into the arena. I think it would still be amazing to be there. It will be interesting to see what they charge for general admission, parking, etc. Yeah, I’m hoping for the press credential route too.
