20,000 British and Irish

At the Arc. Probably 8,000 coming to the Breeders' Cup.

And when I asked the owner of Horse Racing Abroad why they've never done a Summer trip/s to Del Mar, Saratoga and Arlington-he's said he's tried but there's absolutely no interest.

Foreigners don't know what they're missing but should Track Managments be trying to promote themselves abroad in an attempt to lure Europeans to the US in August.

Apart from trainers, owners and agents over for the sale- i'd reckon I've probably only come across 5 or 6 European visitors in the 5 seasons I've visited Saratoga.
