They are guarding the backside like it's Fort Knox - loaded with nothing but Gold bars.
Or, as one trainer put it, "like Hitler's prison camp."
In order for the press to get on the backside, they must be accompanied by a Presque Isle Downs offical at all times. It's pretty amusing that they're standing over your shoulder and watching your every move....
It's not amusing when you have to wait for an offical to be ready to take you back there.
I have no idea what they have to gain by making it as miserable as possible for the press to do their job. However, I'm sure that is their plan.
