Exactly what rules have changed? You bring out the horses 10 minutes to post, let them walk around get used to the crowd noise, you put them in the starting gate and away they go...No rule change.
Now if you want to discuss the pundits that for over 20 years have shot down slots in Md that would have effected the purses of horse races and added more to those purses but elected to do absolutely nothing but watch the connecting states implement slots and increase horse racing purses and draw our horsemen, owners and jockeys to their states, then we can!!!!
Now Md gets off the pot with slots, and the connecting states have full blown gambling..
It has nothing to do with Rule Changes Papa, its all about the M-O-N-E-Y & P-O-W-E-R
Well I would say that not being able to byob is a rule change. It has lowered the infield attendance.
What Annapolis has done I agree is wrong. The Preakness will leave MD and it is Annapolis' fault.

WOW, they say the Preakness was a record crowd, 121,300 people attended.
Didnt look that crowded.
Didnt look that crowded.
Maybe they used the Orioles method of counting people.

That was a great race. It doesn't get much closer than winning by a nose.
Bodiemeister and I'll Have Another were just too strong for Creative Cause.

Yea...local coverage was "no coverage".
It used to be great having the TV on all day, catching all the races and the Preakness fans.
The local stations suck for not doing this. They give us the same gloom and doom news, day after day, and when the opportunity comes to show the Baltimore community having good, clean fun....a day when our civic pride blood is up...they won't show it.
No...Let's get back to reporting on shootings, fires, crooked goverment officials, perverts and the ever boring weather forecasts.
Every day is Groundhog Day in the TV news stations.

They changed the rules and Racing just has no cache anymore so there is nothing to talk.
