There was NOT 22,000 people there. It was empty.
That figure just tells me that even back in the day racetracks fudged crowd counts.
(BTW this whining over NYRA getting a slightly less tiny crowd is kind of orthogonal to the point that the same race at Santa Anita would draw 50,000 in those days. NYRA had driven away its live customer base while Santa Anita still had it, which was the point of my story.)
