Gulfstream is all about revenue per sq ft. Their approach is that it is a handle-driven and not an attendance-driven track.

It is a nice place but the big Saturdays are impossibly crowded. Sundays are better. Weekdays are best.
sounds crappy. i want to go see all the big tracks, one by one, maybe i'll cross gulfstream off the list.
