I always bet online via tablet. Don't think I had much trouble at Pimlico last time I went (2016). Did the same at the BC the last two years as well without an issue.
Well, you basically are circumventing the problems with betting and watching simulcast races live at the track.
Which is basically what you have to do if you want to play simulcasts on a big raceday like a TC race or the BC.
(Maybe not when the BC is at Del Mar, though. There was nobody there. )

They way I see it, they will need to figure out a way to cut Preakness attendance from about 140,000 (at Pimlico) down to $40,000 (at Laurel) in the next 2 -3 years. They can literally afford to have 100,000 get upset and jump ship and management not care.
Yet somehow, when the crowd roars, and the & came running out of the fog, all was well in the universe.
Don't they have the money to at least renovate the main grandstand?

My Preakness Day record is almost unblemished; I only got sucked into the hoopla once, when I was much younger and knew less. The one time I went it was like having a bad acid trip and migraine headache induced simultaneously. That was in the 1980's, and the one word association was "ordeal". This year I only had two thoughts; 1) it is 100% certain to rain, again, (check) and 2) Justify will be a bad price. Maybe there is no such thing as a bad price on a winning horse, but he was life and death to hold off a Lukas horse that didn't look like much on paper.
It will rain again on Preakness Day in 2019.
Would it make sense to rename the existing series of races for 3yo horses "Two and a Half Crowns"? Personally I'd discount the Preakness altogether and count the Haskell and the Travers as a half each.

If you thought that run off was bad, you should have visited the ground floor MEN'S ROOM. 
That was hilarious!
