Baltimore Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos said yesterday that he or his family are poised to help Maryland keep the Preakness Stakes, a storied horse race whose fate has been imperiled by its owner's recent bankruptcy.

The wealthy Baltimore lawyer met last evening with Gov. Martin O'Malley and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller at the State House. They said they discussed concerns that a buyer could move the Preakness out of state and the possibility of Angelos stepping forward as an investor.

this is kind of funny because miller is helping to kill racing in the state. he's the one that held slots hostage for all these years.
