So, what was the real attendance of the 2019 Hambo?

... the lack of reporting leads one to believe it was not good. I saw some chatter about 19,000. That would be a longer stretch than the one at Belmont Park.

maybe 12,000 at the very most, building holds 4000, I don't think there were 15,000 on the apron,

Even 12, 000  would exceed Yonkers attendance for any whole week or maybe even a month
