C'mon, Drugs - you know if the "general racing fan" or "public" were allowed to wander freely in the backstretch, some nice gambler from Ohio would get run over, kicked, or their thumb bit off by a horse on day one. You'd look up and some moron would be sitting in your office, walking down your shedrow, poking in your feed room. Kids don't belong there. Somebody would toss a lit cigarette down and burn someone's barn down.

The "general public" has no business being on the backstretch, for safety reasons alone.

When you go to the backstretch, what are you looking for? You trying to find the trainers and talk to them yourself? (versus the press).
