You could make Sunday some great family day like they've talked about trying to do with the Preakness and actually do the whole picnic-y, kid-friendly stuff in the infield without taking away the drunken affair of Preakness Day. Unless it's such a hot mess there post-Preakness that they can't clean it up in time. Is that why they're not super thrilled about having BES Day follow the Preakness?
