We attended the Preakness Stakes Race here, and it was a dismal location for such an important event. There was only one entrance for the most second-most expensive ticket, the Vine and Mug, and the line for security forced waits more than 1 hour long, then when we reached security, it was a cursory wave. The security was a joke! When we finally got in, they were out of wine, which was guaranteed with our ticket. I did not place one single bet while at this event because the mud was horrendous and dangerous. I couldn't reach a betting window. A member of our party fell the first two minutes at the event, and another slipped and fell the last two minutes. Access to and from this facility is the worse I've ever seen, and I've been to hundreds of sporting and recreational events. We will not return to Pimlico for any future races.
