Plus not unfairly bashing. Last year was a glaring example. NYRA can handle big days but not the Belmont Stakes. They do a great job on 30-40 thousand people at Belmont and Saratoga, but it becomes a fiasco when they get 90,000.
CD is different. They get 70,000 on Oaks and 170,000 on Derby, then they get 3,000 every other day. They gear for those days.
