Preakness: Simply glorious
If wanted a better day than this for the 135th running of the Preakness Stakes, you might have to move it to Honolulu. Oh, sorry, I guess I shouldn't give anybody ideas.
The temperature at 10 a.m. was about 70 and -- according to weather.com -- the temperature at race time is expected to be 76. The infield is starting to fill up with revelers who clearly are ready to get their Preak on (within reason, of course).
First post is in 20 minutes and I'm going to bet it off the board. I was pretty fired up when I saw that the second-favorite in the Maryland Heritage Purse was named Wink at the Girls, but the horse has been scratched, so I'll have to throw my money away on somebody else.

We don't even have a lottery here. Gambling is totally illegal. And there's no tracks other than on the arms of junkies around Hotel Street.
College kids ready to get their Preak on though... yeah, plenty of those.
And it has nothing to do with the temperature... the women are hotter.
BOOM!
