Last year I went to Preakness and had a life changing experience within the confines of Pimlico and then in the ghetto of Baltimore. Yesterday, I enjoyed the second leg of the triple crown 700 miles away from Pimlico and safely at an Off Track Betting site with Yak and Goat. I had never been to an OTB and was amazed at the number of interesting people were there. Lots of people with serious gambling problems, lots of people yelling at the ponies, and no women.
As some of you are probably aware, this is the first year that Pimlico didn't allow its patrons to bring in their own booze and
it did not go over very well. I really can't blame the Maryland frat guys from not going because without booze there is no reason to get in random fistfights, have outdoor sex, or
race down the urinals.
