That was pretty bad...and too bad as it was a pretty good card.

To be fair to Pimlico, while I think it sucks that the Pimlico Special was cancelled, and marquee races are VERY important for maintaining status, they put together two fun cards for the Preakness and as long as it doesn't rain the Friday card offers plenty of action. It was a crowded and fun day last year.

I love going to to Baltimore for that weekend every year. Baltimore is great twice a year...Preakness and Opening Day at Camden Yards.
