There is some satisfaction in being in an environment without a lot of people. Especially when you don’t really like people.

Nowadays at Santa Anita, except big Saturdays, you can take in the early morning workouts for free, have the world’s greatest egg sandwich at Clocker’s Corner and if you do want conversation you can sidle up to Doug O’Neill or Baffert and have a chance to chat. After that it’s easy to find an open section in the grandstand to study the form without battling elbows with the guy seated next to you.

I liked not being crowded when I attended games at Stanford from ‘53-2019. I didn’t come to talk and have to listen to people yak about their investments. For me it was all about football probably because it’s been part of my professional life for over 50 years. It’s too bad that 90% of Stanford attendees don’t give a crap about the sport. I bet that the 80 or 90 thousand fans at a Clemson game in Death Valley aren’t talking about 401K’s and gene therapy experiments.
