it resembles that of a delaware park saturday card. its lower level claimers taking shot at allowances b/c of the bigger purses, and 14 horse fields. Their feature turf race is almost at the point of non esistance, the competition is getting weaker and weaker, the 3YO colt sprint (forgot the name) is usually pretty solid, but thats about it.
compared to the other undercards of the triple crown races its no wonder they want to move the preakness out of b-more. I know they're strapped for cash and all, but what other big days do that have to spend it on, DeFrancis Dash, Maryland Million?
"Softening the blow was the announcement that there will be several added entertainment elements, including a pro women's beach volleyball tournament and a concert featuring Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famer ZZ Top, contemporary rockers Buckcherry and a local group yet to be announced."
there's gonna be soo much room in that infield they could have 8 women's beach v-ball games going on and its still gonna look empty. on the flip side $3.50 for a 16 oz is a pretty good price
