137th running of the Preakness

   Less than 7 days till the running of the Preakness at Pimilco. So don't put those Hats away yet. If the racing is not enough for you the infield party might be just what you need. $60 bucks will get you live entertainment all day long, Including the Band, "Little Big Town". Then for extra $20 you can get the endless Mug ticket.

Here's the way it is shaking out, at this time, courtesy of Preakness.com
