They don't get it Tbred. The reason Cajun does is that shes seen similiar things with Nascar. They also are trying to play the pity party issue with teh security. What they don't realize is that on Derby Day they choose the head honchos to stand guard at the only two entrances to the paddock. These aren't pitiful guys. They are supposed to be the crackerjacks of the crew. And they certainly knew who Bob was. They said his guests couldnt pass, when the proper thing to do was to get on the walkie talkie pronto with head of security and tell em what was going on while placating Baffert and his guests with please just let me get approval.
