@DanClarkSports But watch, in next month Elias will name a GM to get heat off himself.
Guaranteed. Avoid getting blame and say he will oversee operations

@DanClarkSports Dan, this is exactly what Elias wants.
His goal is to show how smart he is in the MLB draft and if he can get #1 pick he will proudly tout his accomplishments.

@kokhorseracing @PreaknessStakes This still make sense still today yet they are charging forward with a new Pimlico ..unless of course some determines that price tag is too high?
We could have Laurel at half the price and put $ towards breeding, land and horse ownership. Really grow the breed and game in MD

Opinion: Consolidating Maryland Racing at Laurel Park Makes Sense - Maryland Matters. As we see continued challenges in saving Maryland Racing and @PreaknessStakes I am sharing an essay I wrote in 2019! Thoughts and comments are welcomed! marylandmatters.org/2019/03/08/opi…

@CarolinaBirdman When we are 20 games back of the Yankees we will have a fresh Adley and Sam
English
What in the hell are the Orioles doing. Adley Rutschman is on FIRE and he's not in the lineup tonight. JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
English
"Paid off" might have been a little premature. #totedelay
David Aragona@HorseToWatch
It certainly took some moxie (yeah, let's go with that) to launch a last to first move while going into a full-out drive entering the backstretch. Unconventional tactics by Gokhan Kocakaya, to say the least. But it paid off in a dead-heat win...
English
@HorseToWatch I'm shocked, shocked Eric didn't seize the lead from the get go.
English
@TKKuegler Oh I don’t think fixing all laurel is required. A full tear down….then you need a building that fits 1k people at both locations. Temp seating and tents for Maryland million etc
Paying for empty buildings is a waste of $.
English
@Neusbaum04 Just a small item to demonstrate, Laurel actually needs way more work on it than Pimlico. Way more expensive to fix that than you may think.
English
I think Maryland/the Mid-Atlantic circuit has every chance in the world to be the 2nd best racing/breeding region in the country in the next 10 years.

@TKKuegler @browch05 @stoolpresidente To hear from TK that the ppl are strong civic/business, this puts MSA and TMJC ahead of likely every racing jurisdiction in America.
English
@TKKuegler Sure, agreed, but while they are thinking about the laurel purchase & I am guessing the build budget is getting scrutinized….time to be creative.
English
@Neusbaum04 Yes.... Not possible politically or financially. Not even worth thinking about.
English
@52ShadesOfHay Their indecisiveness is maddening and has hurt the Maryland Racing industry badly, maybe to the point it cannot recover.
English
@Neusbaum04 They have had a decade and hundreds of millions of $$$ at their disposal thru legislation to get this right.
It's an election year. And I'm not opposed to voting GOP to get people in office who give a crap. These people obviously don't.
English
Maryland has put a pause on the purchase of Laurel. We need them to look elsewhere (Sagamore) for a better deal for our new training center (and get a refund on Shamrock).
Please read this article and the email I sent to Sen. Pres. Ferguson. Hi Ho Pimlico!

I’m interested to see how the Sir Barton for 100k comes up.
Robert Masterton@Macesace
@PapaBeez Peter Pan being run on the same day doesn't help and that race only drew 6 for $200k
English
@kokhorseracing When does Pimlico rebuild get paused? I mean the industry isn’t embracing the race so why build a facility for 1 big day that isn’t so big after all.
English
Legislative panel presses pause on Laurel Park purchase - Maryland Matters. There are continuous challenges to save Maryland Racing. A big problem is there is so little support for horse 🐎 racing in Maryland. marylandmatters.org/2026/05/07/leg…
English
@RaworDie @barshoelife If it’s in NBC we need it to matter.
National broadcast need racings full attention….while racing hasn’t used to capitalize the gambling piece yet it still matters
English
Middle jewel? More like middle finger. Race got evicted from its own track and the slow Derby winner Golden Tempo ghosted. Tell me the Preakness still matters @barshoelife. I’ll wait. #horsefirst
English
@j96198 @NeverSettleTV @preakness If Maryland wants the Preakness to be relevant they better parter with CD.
Maryland has no choice..
English
@Neusbaum04 @NeverSettleTV @preakness CDI gets IP rights. Hopefully they can make it successful, I don't trust CDI with anything though.
English
Feel terrible for the good people in Maryland @Preakness. The fact that the Belmont has been run at less than 1 1/2 miles 4 of the last 7 years hurts the Preakness just as much as the spacing.
English
Thank you Bryan for simply saying what’s been hard for many of us to admit. It worries me Maryland has now risked its entire thoroughbred industry to prop 1 race that simply doesn’t seem to be holding its importance in the calendar.
Bryan Langlois, DVM@Animalsheltrdoc
@browch05 @RepoleStable Maybe it really is that most don't consider the Preakness a "must win" or "must get to" on their schedule these days? I find that hard to believe...but maybe it is that simple??
English
@j96198 @NeverSettleTV @preakness Yes all aware but that doesn’t change my statement. 1st has been “Maryland” racing for many years now and CD doesn’t get to run the event from what I read. MJC already hired a company to run the event. No guarantee MJC would make the event successful again either
English
@Neusbaum04 @NeverSettleTV @preakness 1/ST has been managing the Preakness, not MJC. Churchill Downs & MJC will manage it starting 2027.
