Pimlico dirt track maintenance will alter training

Weather permitting, the Maryland Jockey Club is planning to suspend training at Pimlico Race Course Tuesday, April 18, and Wednesday, April 19, for a maintenance project on the dirt surface. The project requires removal of material from the surface and the addition of more than 500 tons of clay that will be screened on site similar to the project at Laurel Park the last week of March. In addition, Stanley Concrete must replace two drainage pipes in between the dirt track and turf course and begin blacktopping in and around the harrow yard.
