Those Sunday giveaways this year include a horse bobblehead, a miniature of the track, a T-shirt, and a beer stein, according to media coverage today.

Maybe I'm a bit of a complainer, but I was kinda expecting more from the giveaways this year for the 150th. Of all the "free" (with paid general admission) toys, I guess the track miniature sounds the most appealing, to me. The beer stein initially sounded kinda cool - but then I realized it was just like the stein they gave away a few years ago...and is now collecting dust on a shelf closet in my apartment.

Still, it being a monumental year, I'm contemplating attending the Travers this August at the oldest  sports venue in the country. Might be a bit crazy, but possibly kinda fun too.

You can find other 150th events and promotions - including an ice cream social and a 150th app - here.
