On big race days you will see fantastic crowds at Santa Anita, Monmouth, Belmont, etc. The problem is there are so many tracks/races that the majority or tracks see small crowds, small fields, and poor handle. But in the end, it's all about the money, especially with casinos pushing many of these smaller tracks.
