I've only gone to Suffolk on MassCap day which had perfect weather and a big crowd that probably wouldn't have been there had Funny Cide not...so I might be a little forgiving of Suffolk.

I do see your point.
I've always felt that where track publicity falls short, it's up to me as a fan of live racing to drag non-racing friends with me. I think I have a 90% success rate converting them into at least part-time fans.

But that is probably just my winning personality. Or a couple of winning tickets.

I was at that Masscap- warm day, big crowd, and the magic of Dutrow.
