Further examples of 2009 price reductions include:

“We believe that setting the General Admission price at $10 for 2009 is another step in our efforts to ensure that sports fans in Southern California can experience our World Championships in person at a very reasonable cost,” said Peter Land, Breeders’ Cup Chief Marketing Officer.

“Oak Tree and the Breeders’ Cup believe that this year, more than ever, the two days of world championship racing should be affordable and accessible to all,” said Sherwood Chillingworth, Executive Vice President of the Oak Tree Racing Association. “Ten dollars for a day at the Breeders’ Cup at beautiful Santa Anita is one of the all-time great values in American sports.”
