Breeders Cup horses - 6 tickets for owners, 4 for Breeders. 114 horses passed the entry box for Saturday. That's over 1,000 people right there. (I don't think owners/breeders of multiple entrants turned any "extra" tickets back - right Sol Kumin?) It doesn't take too many people to look crowded outside in the key areas of the track. The shots of the stands still looked fairly barren.
I doubt that they took tickets away from those who scratched or AE's that didn't ultimately get in - but I don't know what the official policy was. There were also the owners of horses in those first three fairly full fields to add in - don't know how many tickets they each received.
