BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Black-Eyed Susan Day saw over 51,000 people in attendance, with over $22 million spent.
Saturday, the bass was bumping at the Infield Fest. The attendance was up from Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan Day.
“We’re having a great time today, the weather is great, the orange crushes are really good,” Stephanie Farina said.
Many people came to Pimlico Race Course for the first time, bringing their best outfits in order to stand out for the big race.
“It’s a wonderful event,” Ray Burton said. “It’s a much bigger event than just a horse race.”

51,000 is not a large crowd for this event. I am surprised that many actually braved the neighborhood to get there.
Pimlico should have have this elite race. The venue is a dump and its located in the worst part of Baltimore.
12:59 "NOT"
there...corrected
Not to mention horses trained to run on autopilot! When's the last time that happened in a Triple Crown race?
Move it out of Baltimore, the slums, and get a better crowd.
