It's funny. This was right around the lie that we were guessing they would post as the Friday attendance. The better question is whether or not total attendance for the two days will ACTUALLY be higher than the made up number for the first day.
Likely close.

Are you saying he counted everyone himself?

The crowd count looks legitimate. It's well over 50k today.
I am not going to argue with TLG about this, however. I know he is right that crowd counts sometimes get padded at big races (such as at Churchill); however, I believe the announced attendance.

It didn't seem that crowded yesterday, there was some room. Today is a different story. I think 45k was probably an exaggeration but then again I didn't count everyone.

Why is it that, every time a track announces a high attendance figure, people automatically dismiss it as fake? It is impossible for a track to have a lot of people on a big day?

is the count based on ticket sales or turnstile? Friday we arrived early and walked right in the gate. No one was even at gate to look at our tickets. Saturday we entered at the clubhouse entrance and had to go through a security check and then had our tickets scanned. From my observation Friday was busy. Saturday was very busy, but not Derby busy.

Yeah, umm, while we're exposing falsehoods, what's definitely farfetched is the $125k stud fee for Pioneerofthenile (whatever the spelling is). He was waaaayyyy too SLOW for such an exorbitant fee . Like anyone is really buying it.
