First things first: Stacy Keibler is more than just a pretty face.

The Baltimore native has done the Preakness thing before and came prepared for the experience today. So before venturing into the infield for duties as hostess of InfieldFEST, the stunning celeb ditched her heels for flip flops. 

"The heels are only for photo ops," Keibler said after posing outside the jocks room with Calvin Borel, who will ride favored filly Rachel Alexandra in the big race. "I wouldn't want to get stuck. I've done this before."

Keibler said she was a semi-regular at the Preakness in her high school and college days long before the WWE/Dancing With The Stars phenomenon became famous. "I'm not sure how many I went to ... When you go in the infield at the Preakness they blend into one," Keibler said as the first race was run behind her.

It is a different infield experience for her today, of course, as Keibler checks out the new look (and considerably more tame) Pimlico infield where she will be the celebrity hostess for the concert headed by ZZ Top.
