If you have pre-ordered a beverage package, your marquee will be located within the designated beverage package zone. Please ensure you wear your beverage package wristband at all times during the event to allow for easy recognition.
Wristbands will be mailed to you 7-10 days prior to the event. These wristbands gain entry to the racecourse and your specific room. Make sure your wristband is securely fastened throughout the day.
