I mainly follow The Preakness. I'm a native Balti-Moron, and used to live right down the street from Pimlico. I've always wanted to attend one of the famous Infield Parties, but haven't made it yet.
I'm not a big fan of horse racing. If the horses didn't have such fragile legs and the staff didn't need to kill one seemingly every other race, I wouldn't have as much an issue with it. They have been bred to a point where it is almost inhumane to race them because of the bad genes.
The derby is only two days away and I didn't see much discussion. Anyone playing? I have a bunch of bets lined up and am excited. This race is pretty even and the favorites/wiseguy horses all have good starting posts. SHould be very exciting!
