Everybody polite and mixing and having a great time, even with a lot of drinking going on.) It is clear that this is a big deal for the city, as it ought to be.īring back the pageantry, and lets us watch and hear it on the outdoor big screens, and you've got a four star event. Lame! (Lots of blacks and whites at the race by the way. all this was shown on the outdoor big screens, but I couldn't hear any of it! I had to look at buglers silently playing on TV! Then just the murmur of the crowd for 20 minutes, then the race happened, and that was it?! I would have had no clue that it was the second best horse race in the country, unless I had already known that!!Īlso, they don't sing the traditional Maryland song anymore, because it was deemed racist. They should have had audio piped into the stands: the buglers, the TV announcers talking about the tradition, this year's jockeys and horses. It's not that big of a deal, but for a Triple Crown race I was expecting more. Like others here have said, the stands are a bit rundown.
