Kegasus

Kegasus was the mascot for the infield party for the 2011 Preakness Stakes, portrayed by a human in a centaur costume. Dubbed "Lord of the InfieldFest", Kegasus borrowed his name from Pegasus and keg. Unlike Pegasus, Kegasus was not a winged horse, but was half man, half horse. The actor who played Kegasus was not disclosed.

The March 2011 announcement of Kegasus as a mascot for the party provoked controversy, with some complaining that the Preakness was glorifying binge drinking. In response, spokesmen for the race noted that the ad campaign was an attempt to appeal to a younger demographic.
