Transforming Pimlico into state's racing universe

A plan to make Pimlico Race Course the racing universe of Maryland involves demolishing and rebuilding the historic facility. The Maryland Board of Public Works voted Wednesday morning to approve the sale of the race course to the state. "With this agreement, we are making Pimlico the year-round home of thoroughbred racing in the state of Maryland. By consolidating thoroughbred racing at one track, Pimlico will become a reliable hub of economic activity, rather than only being in the spotlight for a few days of the year," Gov. Wes Moore said at Wednesday's Board of Public Works meeting.
