I heard it all now, Pim bringing in all you can drink kids and betting on them to become players down the road. What about all the under age drinkers? Them too? I can see this as a desperate move to advertise the sport, but binge drinking is not a Sport of Kings. Yea yea, all the college's around love it. I think it brings the sport down a notch. How much puke does it take to become a horse player. TONS!! Did it ever come to mind that while they are catering to beer chuggers, the real group of players get squat. How about investing in new tech, racing is only behind about 2 light years.

They're more concerned with the revenue they lost last year.

They need to put guns and ammo in the infield and a bulletproof dome over it.

The infield was basically an open field at Pimlico last year. I understand why they're trying to make up for a 30k plus drop in infield attendance last year.

Exactly. Keeping the college kids away means nil chance of them really becoming interested in the sport somewhere down the road. If you can bank an extra few million in the process, good for Pimlico.

Everyone needs to get off the high horse and quit worrying about the new slogan and this promo designed to let college kids have a good time. Not everyone wants to dress up and pretend to be important.

Sport of Kings is = to the King of beers?
