Ya never know how the horse will come back after only a two week break. On another note.. hopefully Pimlico works out their starting gate issues. I think they have had 3 races as no contests because of that. They only had all winter to make sure they were working properly
I doubt 1/ST checks anything--they are getting out
. Laurel has been sold and closing in 2027, there will be year round racing at Pimlico (minus the 2-3 weeks they have the state fair at Timonium.)
Pimlico is being torn down starting the day after this years Preakness and a new, modern facility will be built.
I have attended about 5 Preakness'--and will miss the historic, outdated, unsafe building
