The Orioles did request it, which Major League teams can, and the league tries to accomodate and in this case they couldn't.

In general, the league promulgates a schedule, teams can comment and make requests for changes, then the leauge makes changes or doesn't and promulgates a final schedule.

I'm thinking about going for the Pimlico Special this year. Would've seen Invasor last year. The last one I did go to had Summer Squall, Unbridled, Farma Way, and at least one other top horse that I can't remember.

Found it on Google (which was almost as fast as asking oracle or btwind!). It was Jolie's Halo. I'd also forgotten that Farma Way set the track record that day.
