Suddenly attendance is the key barometer again? Did people miss the part where online wagering on horseracing was made the only legal online wagering activity in the US?

The best horse in training in 2010 is akin to being the world's tallest midget. I mean I was thinking of flying in to see the winner of the Amsterdam, Donn and Hal's Hope but then I remembered that Summer Bird who beat QR like a drum a few times last year then was subsequently pulverized by a filly was indeed in training.

Ya thinking PG?
I don't think so. No way he knows anything about violins on the Titanic. Or would be clever enough for that user name. |

Six thousand is not a bad attendance considering the many other things people do on a GORGEOUS Memorial Day weekend. Almost 9,000 yesterday, and I'd bet they see 15,000 today. Very respectable. Find something else to complain about.

charlie haywoods marketing strategy- "if we keep the players from coming here think of the money we save on soap and toilet paper in the restrooms"

RIGHT: with online wagering and too many tracks to keep track of, let alone play, my PRIMARY CONCERN is how many 'idiots' showed up at BEL yesterday. If I'm not a physicality handicapper or I don't depend on shoe or barn info for my wagering, I'm doing my work out of my house.
