Perhaps, and this is just a guess on my part, Del Mar stopped giving out a ton of invites to random people for Opening Day, as they realized the overflow did little for them other than to inflate a relatively meaningless number.
Even for the internet, criticizing 33K and over $15 million in handle seems a little harsh ( or some might even say silly ). First day of the meet is probably a little early to be doing the chicken little act.
