Here's a pretty well written piece from SI. However,note the photo is not from the PA Derby as CC was #1 not 2.

It was horrible, and I voiced my displeasure to management. If I wanted to purchase a hat or shirt, 99% of the stuff had California Chrome on it.

Other than that, it was an AWESOME day to be at Parx. The free food & booze certainly didn't hurt matters any!

Guess I'm the only one who didn't know about the freebies; but was pleasantly surprised at how things went and the niceness of the folks I met there. ( this from a former usher at Giants stadium who dealt with Eagles fans ! ).
Now, if they would only lower the takeout .
