The sun is out and the track is drying out after a wet Black-Eyed Susan Day
All the chairs in neat little rows, won't stay that way for long.
Honoring Past Preakness Winners.
The paddock is ready for a busy 13 race day.
All dressed up for the big day.
Getting fueled up for a big day of handicapping.
The crowd begins to mass.
Awaiting Entrance to Pimlico.
Make sure you bring plenty of supplies.
Passing through security.
Dos and Don'ts for the Infield.
In search of refreshments.

Enjoying a beautiful Preakness Day.
Enthusiasm for Preakness Day
