The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes is May 17 at Pimlico Racecourse.  Demolition of the current site is expected approximately 30 days after that race.  The Maryland Stadium Authority expects a late June start to the project.  They are confident they'll have the redeveloped racecourse open in time for the Preakness Stakes in 2027, moving next year's race to Laurel Park racetrack in Anne Arundel County in the interim.
