bah, that's not a good excuse. look at the tens of thousands who were brought to the track because of her in her other starts. easily some of the largest crowd ever in california-she's used to a lot of crowd noise.

Back in the 80s, I remember 50-60k in attendance, for non BC days.

yeah, i remember those days. it would be nice to see that happen again. cali racing has been going south for a few years. between the workers comp rules, owners bailing, trainers of course leaving...others not shipping in-it's been a real mess. hopefully the return to dirt will help-already some trainers who wouldn't go west the past couple years are announcing their return.
