I think you are missing my point. The small crowd was not the issue. The issue was that no one there was socializing. No smiles. Just sitting behind a computer or form, intently watching the races 500+ miles away while ignoring the racing right out front. At Charles Town a lady asked to look at my program to see who to bet, and she was just having a good time, betting names. None of that at Laurel
