Breeders Cup Tickets?

Charles, if you are serious about attending the Breeders Cup races in 2014, consider booking a tour package. A tour operator is likely to have access to better tickets and will be able to handle accommodations and transportation. You might find it less stressful and more fun, even if you are normally a do-it-yourselfer. Southampton is a long way from Arcadia, California. If you make your own arrangements, you'd have to fly in, rent a car, and find your way to your hotel, all while jet lagged and learning to drive on the right-hand side of the road. Driving in the LA area can be an adventure for visitors. It is easy to get lost, and it is easy to underestimate the time it takes to get anywhere. With a tour, you can settle in at your nice hotel in a nice part of town, get to the races on time, drink if you like, and not worry about locating your car after the races.

Re: dress codes, in general, all that's required is that you meet basic standards of modesty. Certain areas of the track (such as some dining rooms) may have specific requirements; these will be described on the track's website. However, if you choose to dress in jacket and tie you will not be out of place. You won't see morning coats and top hats, though.

In California the minimum age for parimutel betting is 18.

As for dress, unless you'll be in the clubhouse (unlikely, since the place will be sold out) comfortable clothing and shoes are a must. Weather is usually in the high 70's during the day and the mid-50's at night. Aim for nice daytime wear - a pair of shorts/pants (like dockers) and a collared shirt (like a golf shirt) to be safe. Women can wear nice shorts/pants/skirts and a shirt. Flat shoes or trainers are a must!

If you do plan on visiting, feel free to contact me - I may know of a group that will have seating available at little cost. It's always fun to meet other race fans!

I realise this is probably not for 2014? (haven't checked) but go to their website which should give you all the info. you need.
