So this would be another sign of the Apocalypse?

If a horse called "Red Heifer" wins the Sunday Preakness, look out.

You could make Sunday some great family day like they've talked about trying to do with the Preakness and actually do the whole picnic-y, kid-friendly stuff in the infield without taking away the drunken affair of Preakness Day. Unless it's such a hot mess there post-Preakness that they can't clean it up in time. Is that why they're not super thrilled about having BES Day follow the Preakness?
