Its a real nice place but attendance is down,

Its really strange. During the live meet at Del Mar I must have been give
100 free passes to the race book ( its $2.50 admission )
The passes expired on new years day,
They gave away all that admission money to get the people to go to the
race book, But now its back to paying $2.50 per day just to walk in door.
My buddy who also work security at the race book tells me that the bottom line is the track handle percentages they get, They can get people to pay $2.50to sit on there hands but if they let them just bet the $2.50 they would
get more people to come and still get their money from the handle.

They are starting to allow off track parlors which also is taking a bite from The race book at Del Mar
