I was at Oaklawn, but didn't get there until the 5th race so sadly no Smarty Jones bobblehorse to go with my Smarty Jones Diploma and flashing lapel button that they gave away the day that Smarty won the Kentucky Derby.

They do some silly stuff sometimes during the simulcast season. Just about anything to get people in there. Some of it is not too bad like when they put names in a barrel and then draw out a name and give that person a hundred dollars to wager on a race. Amazing how many times people put the hundred on a horse to show and it runs up the track.
