Very true.

Keep in mind that Mine That Bird, in his most recent start, brought in over 20K people to the sh!thole to end all sh!tholes .. Mountaineer Park .. and Big Drama went off favorite ... not the horse that won the Derby big, just missed in the Preakness, and supposedly should have won the Belmont easily if not for a stupid ride.
