Preakness in Baltimore

This weekend Snowflake and Sunshine went to Baltimore, Maryland for the 134th Preakness. Preakness is the second leg of the Triple Crown Horse Race. The first is the Kentucky Durby and the third is Beltmont Stakes. This year Mind that Bird won the Kentucky Durby and Rachel Alexandra won Preakness. Lucky for us we bet on both horses in the Preakness and came out a small winner. The Baltimore crowd is a site to see - a varity of cultures and clash. This was the first year attendees could not BYOB and it reduced the popularity of the event. It was not as well attended as years past. The big "R" could have also impacted the attendance level.

Sunshine and Snowflake had an amazing time, as it was our first Preakness together. This video was specially made for mama and papa in Germany, enjoy! Piep piep piep...
