Baltimore, MD – State officials have asked the Maryland Stadium Authority to determine what it would cost to modernize Pimlico Race Course so it can remain home of the Preakness, which has been run there for more than a century.
The authority’s board agreed to conduct the study this week after the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation requested an assessment of the 146-year-old facility’s economic health and the impact of the Preakness on the city, the racing industry and the state.
