Watching the ESPN overhead shot you can see that the parking lot is only 1/3 full. My guess is about 35,000 today. This sad considering the place can handle 80,000 fairly well.

John Henry would pull 80,000.

Who cares? Besides Zenyatta....horrible day for the level of racing. Didn't recognize hardly any of the horses.

I'm surprised if they outdrew the Lakers Pre-season finale.

There are too many juvenile races. Those are the most boring ones because nearly none of the horses are recognizable. There used to be only 2 of them and that was okay....now there's 4! And they all look nearly the same on paper!! A lot of them come into the race with only 2 or 3 starts, so it's hard to tell if someone is just going to suddenly improve.

Someone please kill me. I just cant take it anymore.......

If you find them too boring then maybe you can just get a hot dog or something to pass the time while they are running them?

Get richer friends and make them cut you in for a piece as the good luck charm and you wont need the job.
