Randall, surely a little thought might help you understand the reason for the decline in attendance at Belmont. Here's a hint, check Belmont Day for each year.

I'm not going to have any debates with you here. I am at more than an unfair disadvantage, and throughout your history here it has been evident that you have your beliefs and they won't be changed. I wish you only the best, at the races as well as in life.

And I you...except there was no triple crown on the line after Drug O'Neill scratched. And that may not have impacted the tickets already sold, but it surely impacted the walk-up...how that explains a 10% decline in handle is beyond me...again we can keep changing the bars however you would like...I just hate the idea that things have to be spun on the best horse racing message board we have as an industry. We all love the game.
