Spectator Question. I'd like to see the Santa Anita Derby on April 9th

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me the best way to get tickets for Santa Anita Derby race day? Directly from the race track vs ticket broker? Also can anyone advise best place to be seated to observe race? That doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m planning to bring binoculars. Anything else that is handy to have when you spectate at races? Thanks in advance for any wisdom that might be shared!

SantaAnita has a website covering these details. Be sure to look just at April 9th, they well charge a bit more and recommend pre purchasing. Its not expensive for general admission ( 20ish)and comes with a program of the days races.
