She may not have run, but I guess having a star horse on-hand does have an affect:

* The crowd of 35,292 was the best for a winter meeting opener here since 1999, when there were 44,018. The on-track handle was up 12% from last year, and the overall handle -- betting from all sources -- was up 1%.


If you can get the casual fan into the track for some reason they will bet.

Maybe the fact it fell on Saturday for the first time a quite a while might have had something to do with the numbers?

The numbers will be down, way down for the meet.
