I have to think the handle is what keeps the sport in business.

To answer your question,though I donot know the reported number, NYRA sold alot more season passes this year at reduced price, then stopped saying sold out. They include the season passes in the daily figure,so the true numbers are not accurate. In past years, the giveaway days spinners figures also contributed to inaccurate numbers. NYRA will have the numbers in a couple days for you.
