I knew someone who went there. They were in the crowd in the infield area. It was hotter than normal that year, and between the heat and the crowds, they told me they didn’t get a good view of the race. And they bet on the wrong horse. All in all, it was too crowded and hectic that they didn’t enjoy it.
People who go to the infield isn’t there to watch the race. The infield used to be considered just one big party with a horse race going on in the background. I don’t think that has changed any.
