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.
