Default What do they even mean here?!

Obviously I'm not going but I thought maybe a couple of you live near Churchill and will be...

Ummm what?

◗ The only “Downs After Dark” program of the meet is on tap for Friday, when “Animal Kingdom” will be the theme for ontrack fans. First post is 4:30 p.m. Eastern, with general admission $10. A new “Millionaire’s Lounge” is being introduced for the first time. The last race is scheduled for 9:36 p.m.

So what does this mean? Do you dress up as your Derby horse or something? If I were going how exactly would I be Soldat and hey where is he anyway?

Can we be our Derby picks from years past and, if so and if I dress up as Paddy O'Prado would I have to let everyone pass me while waiting to get in?

Anyone going to this?

This close to the next Kentucky Derby, is this thread really necessary?

If we dressed up like our last KD winning pick, I'd be Sea Hero
