Beer at Preakness was $7 for a 24 ounce Bud Light. You sure as heck don't find a beer for anywhere near that price at the Derby. Belmont is pretty similar to Pimlico.

And I'm pretty sure if I recall from last year at Belmont they even have Guinness for like $6 which is better than you'll do in a lot of NYC bars.

Derby has a couple options, but the main one was bottle-cans of 16 oz Bud or Bud Light, and I think they were all in the $9 range.

Bigsmc will know, he was at the track on Thursday and since I left him there for 2 hours by himself after the races, he saw the freshly printed signs going up with a 2.50 surcharge

Yeah, I went Thu-Fri-Sat two years ago and the 16 ounce beers went from $5 on Thu to $7.50 on Fri to $9.50 on Sat.
