BALTIMORE (AP) A record-setting crowd on Friday, followed by a huge throng for the Preakness, will enable the owners of aging Pimlico Race Course to break even this year.
That, however, won’t blunt their effort to move the Preakness to nearby Laurel Park.
”It’s going to come to a head at some point later this year,” Sal Sinatra, president and general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club, said Saturday. ”We’ll see where it shakes out.”
The Maryland Stadium Authority is in the midst of a study to determine how much money it will take to sufficiently renovate 147-year-old Pimlico.
