Preakness
- Thread starter nardibynature2
- Start date
has anyone been to the preakness - and partied on the infield - since they stopped letting you BYOB? man, one of the very few times i've felt somewhat unsafe at a sporting event was standing on the infield with brawls breaking out all around our group and beers hurtling through the air.
I was there back in 2006 I wanna say. One of the funner events I have attended. the best was the people trying to run across the line of Porta-potties while getting bottles hurled at them
the cops also just let people piss on the edges of the infield without a care
I went in 2013, was part of the Mug Club. Pretty good deal, tickets are ~$100 and it's all you can drink. They line up about 500 kegs so there's really never any lines. While the one I went to was messy, it's no where near as bad as the old days (so I've heard). The day I went it was also only like 55 degrees and overcast/drizzling -- knocks everyone down a peg.
yeah, we would always set up in the corner of the final turn, usually more space out there if you got in early and established a big enough plot. i think we went pretty much every year from 2001 - 2008 or 2009. fun times.
A few thoughts on earlier races:
R9 - Chick Lang Stakes: Cue the hackneyed seinfield mudder reference because #6 Counterforce has breeding which says he should love a wet track. Great post for the horse has shown he can win in different ways and Asmussen has done well in this race. Going to play along with #1 Justin's Squared. Trifecta play: 6 over 1 over 3-4-5-7 and then 1 over 6 over 3-4-5-7
R11 - The Sir Baron Stakes: A live long or two could be in play here but I like the ML favorite #5 American Freedom trained by Bob B, stretching out to two turns and with a debut win in the slop. Exacta play: 5 over ALL.
R12: The Dixie Stakes: With the scratches need to re-calibrate. Was looking to key the 11 Force The Pass who ran a sharp race to finish 3rd, getting beat for 2nd by a head to a horse that made my derby day in the Woodford (Divisdero).
pick 4 starts at Race 10 and ends with the preakness. Will try and throw up a play.

My .50 Cent Pick 4:
R10: 3-5-6-9-10-12
R11: 4-5-6-7-9
R12: 4-7-9
R13: 3
