"Interest in this year's Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships has been tremendous," Lone Star president Corey Johnsen said in a prepared statement. "We have already received thousands of inquiries for tickets. At this time, plans call for everyone in attendance to have a reserved seat. That will enable us to provide a high level of customer service and deliver the best experience possible."

Optional seating for the programs of Oct. 28-29 will be available in the ticket packages. Lone Star will hold a special Thoroughbred meet during the month of October.
