You have a bunch of friends and guests with you and you blow the headcount by a few. In order to get the passes in the first place you have to call the horseman's liaison, then go get em, then try and have them passed out to friends and guests who are scattered all over town at different locations. So you blow the heacount by a couple, or you dont have the paddock passes with you, you have accomodated the press all week and you try and bring in a guest with you to the paddock of a race where you have a horse running.
This sound like a reason to get mad if you are baffert and someone says no? Give me a break. Security is gladly had at the racetrack and everyone appreciates the job these guys do. BUt to tell a guy with three horses in teh race who is standing in front of you telling you this guy is with me, that he can't go in. Yeah, I'd throw a fit as well.
