Still, 2008 was less by quite a bit than 2002, 2003, and 2004.

2004 (Smarty Jones year) is the number that skews everything. He was such a popular horse, plus you picked up the whole Philly contingent and the attendence was north of 120k.
Take that year out and it's about 8% less than '02 &'03. I would say that the heat probably played a big role in that.

I think a part of it is also that to an extent we're not ready to believe that this horse is the best of the the 3-year old crop.
He won the SA Derby, but wasn't bet much in the Derby. Bode runs the huge Derby, so Bode is the favorite in the Preakness. But IHA wins. Now IHA should actually be the favorite, but with history against him- people are still kinda like "I'll believe it when I see it" Almost kinda like a War Emblem feel to it? Is he really the best? Is he really gonna pull this off? But yeah, I'll buy a souvenir win ticket ![]()
