Preakness 2009
An utter failure. I've gone to 4 Preaknesses in my life. Insanity all day long. Drinking begins when they let you in the gates at 6:30am, doesn't stop until the Preakness Stakes @6pm. Until this year, you were allowed to bring in your own drinks. They got rid of that rule this year for some unknown reason. $3.50 beers on the inside, after a $50 infield ticket of course.

Re: Preakness 2009
Hmm, 45K less people, and people actually bought beer this year, and believe me if people got there early in the AM it wasn't to get a seat by the rail. Considering it was BYOB before I'd imagine the track made a heckuva lot more $$ this year.

No. The State is trying to make sure the Preakness stays in Baltimore or at least in Maryland.dbackjon wrote:Aren't they bankrupt, and the state is trying to buy them?
