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.

Raise your hand if you've spent time watching Preakness infield videos on Youtube.

Hand goes up.

I don't know, the Derby infield has become more nuts than Preakness the last couple of years, particularly with the limits on alcohol in place at Pimlico.

cleaning up bbq stands in a hurricane after 100k people leave the infield is much more difficult than seeing boo bee's and people puking / passing out all day.

only b/c of the rain... the dirtiest of the dirt flock to the infield on preakness day, and now that they've had a year hiatus (due to no alcohol last year), MJC is offering all you can drink to sweeten the pot.... its pathetic, but the state of the horse racing industry in MD is you can't knock any attempt

apron box for this guy again this year
derby infielder since '00
