Default When will the track dry out?

By what race at Pimlico will the track conditions be upgraded?

Difficult to say but without any sunshine or wind we might get a muddy track for the Preakness.

Forget the track. What is truly an EMBARRASSMENT is the city the built on the infield. How can you see anything?

What a joke, This race was supposed to be about horse racing, not a drinking fest for amateurs.

not sure I have seen many infield goers care much about watching the racing...maybe thats me but unless you have a seat in bleacher than not sure what the expectation is to see the race.

exactly my point...it keeps getting packed with more **** every year. Even the TV broadcast has blind spots. Have to wonder why Pimlico encourages this mess? i guess it won't change until some drunk ass hole jumps on to the track during the race.

a drunk jumped on the track about 15 years ago....it changed nothing. Nor should it really, its a giant party on these days, with racing, I have no idea how this is a bad thing.
