Say a couple brings $100-$150 to the track... a large percentage is already going to the greedy corporate tax. So with the money they have left over their chances of making a few bucks and not losing it all are stacked against them.
And if they go on a day outside of the derby they are likely to have a bad experience. It's like trying to get into the White House in some parts. "No you need a pass for this area, another $10 bucks"
They nickle and dime the average Joe to death.
And you wonder why this sport can't grow?
