just get the tents out of the infield first so that we can actually see the races.

I like Pimlico. The neighborhood might not be great but the track itself is fine.

That is quite the understatement. It is a 3rd world country.

Idi Amin thought highly of Uganda too. Good to be the King.

Why not out of Maryland altogether? How about Monmouth?

Maryland has a rich history in thoroughbred racing and that is why the Preakness is held at Pimlico. New Jersey racing has a history of appearance fees for trainers, Joe Bravo, and racetracks closing.

Gee, never heard this conversation before.

I think there are a couple issues, one of the biggest of which is that I'm pretty sure MJC owns the name "Preakness."

Seeing how the infield is a large part of the profits for the whole year, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon.
