The reason the attendance was so high was because of 2 factors:

1) Near perfect weather for October

2) It was Homecoming for University of Kentucky, if you remember they played Florida on ESPN Saturday night,

It was a perfect storm, not the Poly Track...

I was in Lexington last weekend for a Wedding for one of my wife's friends, we see most of these people twice a year at Keeneland. I love Keeneland, I handicap the night before, made all of my selections the night before, handicapped the races for speed and non-speed, so all I had to do was watch the races and see which way the track was going. Then I would spend all day hanging out with them. You know what's funny, they all asked me when I was coming down and I said I was boycotting Keeneland, you should have seen their jaws hit the ground, because they know I am a nut for Keeneland. When I told them I wasn't going, because of the Poly Track, not one of them, knew about the Poly Track, so it wasn't because of the Poly Track.

The good thing is the money I am saving from not going to Keeneland I am taking and going to Saratoga next year...
