You are pissing against the wind if you are looking for racetrack attendance to be what it was. ADW wagering has killed attendance and it NEVER will recover.
As does Keeneland. Usually over 20k every day. And there aren't really any promotions. College Scholarship Day draws the same number as any other race day.
