Kentucky derby seating question

Need some help here guys. Last year we went to the derby and had a great time. We had grandstand seats which were fine.
Now a few of us would like to go into the infield. We have grandstand seats again.
Will they let us go back and forth between the infield and our grandstand seats?

im more of a reader and a compiler of good and bad theory....
id rather play poker than depend on humans to react in a predictable way...
and the NFL.. geez louise...
that's my downfall.....
Saratoga is in my neck of the woods. If you get the chance to go some time, do it. Big crowds, hot women in sun dresses, and money to be made. I've done it in a shirt and tie in the clubhouse or with some buddies and the ladies, with coolers, outside the grandstand area near the paddock. It's really good.
Let me know. That would be great.
I grew up going to Saratoga multiple times each summer. There aren't many places quite like it. I don't make it back up there quite as much now that I'm a little further away, but I am planning on swinging up there for a day or two this summer. Right next to my computer here in my basement, I've got an autographed picture of myself and Harvey Pack from the summer of 94, some great memories up there.
I started going around 1990. You do see some "celebrities" up there. (Sports personalities and entertainment) I ran into Bobby Flay from the food network last year next to where we were partying. If you take the time to walk the grounds you'll see all sorts of people.
Bill Parcells has a place nearby and hangs out at Saratoga National Golf for the summer. Friends and I played 18 and sat in the club house hanging out for a bit with Parcells. Good dude. I like it because everyone tries to act normal for the most part. There's so much activity going on that even famous people go unrecognized. Most people just want to play the races and take in the atmosphere and don't bother others. For the most part I could give two shits but it seems like I always recognize someone or end up talking to someone during the course of the day.
I caught a couple days, last year, where the fields were full and they had a big card. That's not always the case anymore with horse racing. There are some bad days with 5-6 horse fields and a bunch of 2 yr old races where you'd be better off playing a scratch off than trying to handicap the unknown.
I've been to Belmont, Aqueduct, Finger Lakes, a couple places in Florida as well as Hollywood and Santa Anita in CA. Saratoga just has an old school vibe to it. I'll eventually make it to Churchill and to the Preakness and I'm sure that will be just as good. Looking forward to the Kentucky Derby next month.
