"We believe 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."
