City of Baltimore Sues to Keep Preakness at Pimlico


Recommended Posts

The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, plus three residents of the Park Heights neighborhood where the racetrack is located, filed suit Tuesday in a Baltimore City court against the Stronach Group in order to prevent it from moving the Preakness.

The Stronach Group has long made it known that it would like to move the race to Laurel.

The plaintiffs are arguing the state law prohibits the Preeakness from leaving Pimlico absent a disaster or an emergency and that no such disaster or emergency exists.

The suit also asks the court to condemn not only Pimlico but the Preakness itself, which would allow the city to take ownership of the race.

The lawsuit was made public as the TDN was going to press. See Thursday’s issue for more details on this breaking story.
