Default 'get your preak on'

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/h....column?page=1


this is the second article i've seen that is very angry with the current preakness advertisements. just wondering what everyone thought about it. i don't see a problem with it at all. especially when you see this:

The new campaign appears to be working, at least according to the MJC.

It says ticket sales are up as much as 25 percent over previous years. And the

GetYourPreakOn.com website is getting more than 32,000 hits per week.

Sounds like some pretty good marketing to me.

Default It's a drunk fest, brings in new players theme

I heard it all now, Pim bringing in all you can drink kids and betting on them to become players down the road. What about all the under age drinkers? Them too? I can see this as a desperate move to advertise the sport, but binge drinking is not a Sport of Kings. Yea yea, all the college's around love it. I think it brings the sport down a notch. How much puke does it take to become a horse player. TONS!! Did it ever come to mind that while they are catering to beer chuggers, the real group of players get squat. How about investing in new tech, racing is only behind about 2 light years.

They're more concerned with the revenue they lost last year.

They need to put guns and ammo in the infield and a bulletproof dome over it.
