The sun is out at Pimlico and the gates have opened to the masses. Already, the infield is starting to fill up as revelers charge in carrying blankets, backpacks and enough beer to sink an ocean liner. I've heard the infield at the Preakness puts the one for the Derby to shame, if you're into that sort of thing (as most of us were back in the day).
The chance for rain has gone down slightly, meaning there's a better chance the race will be run over a dry, fast track. Hope for the best, that's all we can do. In 10 hours, we'll know if the Belmont Stakes is just another Grade I race or if it will in fact be part of history like it was when Funny Cide and Smarty Jones went there seeking a Triple Crown.
