Pleasantly Perfect ran the day I was there ... and when he walked into, through, and out of the paddock ... you could hear a pin drop. Not a peep from anyone. No cheers, no boos, no nothing.
This would never happen at a New York track ... where the fans are much more into the game. Very enthusiastic, very boisterous, very ballsy.
Yeah ... some of the women looked great ... but where were the racing fans?

Let me guess, your from Brooklyn. You obviously have never been to Del Mar. There is plenty of noise. There just aren't idiots yelling at jockeys like in NY, although you rarely see that at Saratoga.
