Attendance for the Backyard Crashers was as follows:
Thursday only Bob, Sean, and Todd (a friend of Bob's from Chicago, First time starter I believe). From there, a group of 25 or so on Friday and Saturday consisting of 17 with the Louisville based group I stayed with on Union Ave. And FrankD, his pals Johnny O and Sheri, his pals Johnny R, Aaron, and one of FD's gals. Mathcapper and his cousin. Bo Derek appearances. Sean's daughter. Banditbeau (Terry) made an appearance. It really is quite remarkable when 25 plus people are in the same area to watch the horses right next to the paddock, studying the form and replays, drinking, eating, socializing, people watching, and on and on.
On Sunday there were only four of us there for most of the day. Track was packed that day despite what attendance says (Monday was all giveaway turnstile attendance and Sunday was way more crowded in the facility during the entirety of the day). FrankD left after leg 1 of the late pick 5. And with just three of us there, I found some clarity and got hot and hit good enough to make it a winning weekend. Sean and his daughter also hit good late on that card. I didn't connect many other dots but I was beyond judicious as folks could tell you about where I took my shots.
Monday's finale was a group of about 20 and the video shows you our whereabouts and the fun that was had all day as we shut it down.
If I missed someone I apologize but I think I covered all the TG related folks.
