I couldn't help but at least give a brief comment on this. I found it on a friend's Facebook post and found it absolutely hilarious.

I know they need people to go to the Preakness, and after they KOed the BYOB rule on the infield, lots of the co-eds lost the urge. I don't care how cheap the beer is, the infield at Preakness just won't be the same.
The bigger issue here is (and has always been) the health of the horse racing industry in Maryland, which is in on life support to say the least. Slots were supposed to help it, but unless you put slots at the racetracks (never going to happen with the current governor), you're going to see empty grandstands at Pimlico and Laurel for years to come...if there even is a Pimlico and Laurel in years to come. Budgets are tight, and the state is not going to give horce racing any more tax dollars. How is one of the oldest industries in the state going to recover otherwise?
But come on? Kegasus? Seriously?
