How does it matter? The turnstyle tally is an old method to determine anything. While its good that people come to the track, it wont even come close to the off track betting revenue.

Pretty obvious they've been misreporting the attendance numbers all meet, so whatever the final number is it's meaningless.

OTO, it is not that it is wrong to ask. It is that many misuse attendance figures to argue the sport is dying. In addition to what Ateam pointed out (which is true of all professional sports), attendance is not what counts in horse racing, handle is what counts.
