SIKSUKR, your not supposed to give up the good advice to arrive early like this...... Of course I whole heartedly agree..... This is my Fourth year going to the Fall Race. I always arrive, around 8 - 8:30...... and before you know it it is 2 pm and the race is starting.....
and heading North after the race is not bad at all..... Here is a tip though, whether you leave Imediately following the race, or wait 1 hour, I still get home at the same time..... In Short don't rush out........
I will be sitting right across from you in the main grandstand.....
