the place was a ghost town this year, the corporate tents and turfside palace tickets (the big wigs) were empty all day except for the preakness race. Couldn't see the infield from my seats, but the local tv station showed a clip in the mid-afternoon where spots on the fence, which are usually gone by 8:05 were wide open. I guess the $1 beers from 8-11 and the oxygen bar didn't attract as many people as they thought. I waited for the last race to end, and it literally took me 10 min. to get onto the expressway. I've seen bigger crowds at best buy on christmas eve, sad
