When I was a young man I would be there at Pimlico with the sun rising at the same time.
Race 4 now seems the better time for start of our points contest but I'll be ready at 7 am.
Black Eyed Susan not interested in having in our points contest.
Old Hilltop was my back yard play ground when I was a younger man. Wish I could be there on Saturday from 7:00 am till 7:00 pm. 😊

Digger, I have heard tales of the revelry in the infield on Preakness day, in which lots of beer was consumed by local college students and very few bothered to watch the races. Reference is often made to a race atop the row of port-a-potties. Can you vouch for any of this from your younger days?
