Not so much shag carpet like, as it is representing the State flag colors.

Too bad they came up with such a nice logo for a race I hope the MD State Racing Commission doesn't grant a date for unless Magna/PennNat agrees to run more than 40 days next year. Scorched Earth, Baby!!!!!

Here's the Maryland State Flag.

Oh okay you two, I had no idea. Doh!

It makes more sense now and yeah, I like it just fine.

You?

I love the horse and rider part of the logo. I don't like the white background.

I worry about my little state over here in the Mid-Atlantic and it's horse racing. So much horse racing history here and I grew up on this stuff.

I miss the days of the Route 1 double headers, Laurel then Freestate.

OY!

i like it. being a maryland native, i immediately recognized the color scheme. the maryland flag (if memory serves) is made up from the crests of the lords calvert and baltimore crests. it's been a long time since i took a maryland history class!
