Drunks? How about nutcases...Does anyone remember that nutbar that jumped onto the track during a race on Preak day attempting to throw a punch at a passing horse? That has got to be the most peculiar thing I have ever witnessed in racing.

Reading previous posts on threads is totally overrated.

I think Magna should be applauded for making the changes they did concerning the infield. That is not to say that I completely agree with everything they did, as perhaps they should have charged less for the infield, but it was a step in the right direction and I believe they made the day more pleasurable overall for racing fans.

I love going to the Preakness and had another great time yesterday.

Just returned from the Preakness---been going for 10 years or so.
Best experience this year----no underage drinkers vomiting on senior citizens on the shuttle bus---no foul-mouthed teenagers and 20 somethings dropping the F Bomb every third word--no one yelling "Stop the bus. I need to piss".
Those 35,000 people who did not attend this year could care less about horseracing--
