Demolition is happening at the historic Pimlico race track as a full renovation begins.  A $400 million dollar investment to restore Maryland’s horseracing industry will see a new track, grandstand, and clubhouse. Maryland’s annual Preakness Stakes, part of racing’s Triple Crown, is expected back at a new Pimlico in 2027. Maryland’s First Lady Dawne Moore said the re-do benefits everyone…

“Together we are setting the stage. Not just for the future of Preakness but for the entire horseracing world, right here in Park Heights. In Maryland we don’t do small and subtle, we do big and bold. Because when our people win, Maryland wins.”
