The only people that show up at Belmont or Aqueduct during the week are workers and old people. The weekends can be ok, but why go there when you can watch on television and flip around the football games between races.

NYRA could care less about attendance. It is all about handle.
There are many pleasures to going to the track but it comes down to handle. And VLTs for the time being.
