Re: OT - Horse puckey at the Kentucky Derby
Agreed. It is /solely/ driven by the desire to protect turf. If it had anything at all to do with security, they'd encourage as many cameras as they could possibly get.

Well of course it's bullshit but it's private property: they can do whatever they want. There's enough other things in the world to take photos of that I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over it...
