Pimlico Special

[RolloTomasi]

Given the current state of the Maryland tracks (they're due to be auctioned off next month), I don't think any sort of decision on the stakes schedule has been made. Considering it has been cut multiple times for financial reasons, I wouldn't anticipate it making a return this year.

That said, the race was made to order for a Zenyatta-Rachel Alexandra showdown.

Lone Star Park should think about throwing some money down for a race. They run several stakes Memorial Day weekend. Mattress Mac (who's more associated with Houston) might get involved. Asmussen has connections there obviously, and the ship isn't substantial from CA, so it seems a reasonable venue for all parties involved.
