PIMLICO TRACK WORK WILL REQUIRE BRIEF SUSPENSION OF TRAINING
Horsemen should prepare for a brief suspension of training at Pimlico Race Course in April to allow for maintenance work on the dirt surface.
The track maintenance crew traditionally has examined the Pimlico surface prior to the May race meet and in recent years has repaired the base in specific areas. Maryland Jockey Club Track Superintendent Chris Bosley said the project could entail shutting down the main track for at least three days to look at previously-repaired areas and other parts of the surface.

Maryland horsemen have emerged as meaningful beneficiaries of the collaborative dual-state stakes schedule and new bonus incentives, according to statistics covering the period from June 21 through August 23 of this year.
