Truer words were never spoken.
Excellent, I am still laughing!

Only on Preakness day can you see a drunken infield spectator stagger out onto the track and take a swing at a horse coming down the stretch.

Well written article. My favorite moment in the infield is about an hour before the Preakness when all you see is drunk, passed out, and sunburned people sprawled on the grass in the infield.

Kevin-- phenomenal piece or writing. Your description of the infield is perfect. Although, I will argue that (I went to Friends), and in my days the collection of Gilman, Friends, McDonogh, etc...in the infield would probably qualify as a bunch of rich people who don't know much about horse racing. Lame celebs are always good though.

How negative can you be? Why don't you just leave this little crappy home town of the preakness now! I don't know how much research you really did for this piece, but I've been to Kentucy and it's much more of a racist, backwards state than Maryland is. Leave the Sun and take your poor excuse for a jornalism degree with you!!!!!

Sorry, vomiting and nudity aren't my idea of what makes for a great horse racing experience. And as for the possibiltiy of a Triple Crown? The drunks in the infield don't even know there's a horse race going on.
