Honestly Ray? You have to be kidding... Who cares how many show up? This is a chickenschit comment. As I said the other day, do a virtual attendance, because that's all that matters. There's more people than ever 'attending' the races from all over the country.

Here's the complete figure picture from yesterday...

Belmont Park Attendance: 6159
Mutuel Pool: $1,310,208 ($212.73/patron)

ITW Mutuel Pool: $2,793,558 Using the $212.73/patron figure = 13,131
ISW Mutuel Pool: $8,184,922 Using the $212.73/patron figure = 38,475

SATURDAY VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE AT BELMONT: 51,606

As long as they come on big days and for special events and for the specialty meets, it's fine.

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.

I don't think so. No way he knows anything about violins on the Titanic.

Or would be clever enough for that user name.
