The Preakness race, second race in the Triple Crown of horse racing, will next year be held at Laurel racetrack about 50 miles sw of Pimlico, Baltimore.
Pimlico will be rebuilt not far from Baltimore and is scheduled to reopen 2027. Maybe Woodbine, Md.
I have fond memories of Pimlico in the seventies, taking friends, dates, generally losing, maybe getting robbed at gunpoint at my parking space. Erk, last not so fond.
Maybe Jimmy? Yeah 3 guys one of which had a newspaper wrapped around his hands so I never saw a gun but they said he had a gun and so it's technically an armed robbery. Got $40 my wallet and car keys but had a spare in the glove comptmt and drove straight to sheriffs. Maybe bluffed me.
Was that a lucky day? Or unlucky?

And you would have just lost that 40 dollars gambling anyway.
