for better or worse I just wanted to pass along attendance figs-mostly for younger .
1962 NY yankee attendance per game was 18,000+ (1 year after maris hit 61 dingers)
Aqu on track daily attendance was 30,000+
Holywood park 31,000+

2024 NY yankees 41,000+
Aqu 4,000+
Hollywood closed

not sure if this post is appropriate or not--I view it as a "factor"

the movie Seabiscuit gives class example prior to buying. He (seabiscuit) was content to be alone and he didn't put up with any BS. Lookin em in the eye is overrated-you can't "look em in the eye if your not in condition

i'm new at this kind of handicapping but---in the short time that I have with it I'm finding that the lower a horse's SR is (less than strength) and the higher his EPS is (within the top 4 of EPS) the more likely he will outrun his odds. (Improving horse). The reverse is also true: the higher a horse's SR is (within strength) and the lower his EPS signals an improving horse. (lots of people handicap BSR #'s)This past Preakness won by jornalism-the 9 horse(Gosger) had a horsestreet system BSR of 87 which was lower than all the others excepting #4 and 5) but he had an EPS that was ranked 3rd. He ran 2nd in a close finish. (just an example that it exists) note: I use BSR because I handicap from the DRF. I haven't done nearly enough handicapping like this yet to make a determination on this but I'll keep an eye on it. It's not an ultra rare occurance. From a value perspective- condition outperforms class
