@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 $.

@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.

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…

@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.
English
@jfcatcher23 @birdlandminute And I hate to say it but Cowser over Beavers for defense
But hey, we got Beavers out of 3 and Adley & Sam playing on the same day.
Small win!
English
@birdlandminute Id rather Alexander over Mayo. Swinging a hot bat and plays better defense
English
@52ShadesOfHay @LaurelPark @PreaknessStakes @wbaltv11 @wbaljfro Not exactly challenging to sell out when you offer 4,900 seats while many on secondary market
$221 parking is ridiculous, they should be ashamed of themselves
Maryland million has more people and cars
English
@LaurelPark readies for sold-out @PreaknessStakes with new setting and familiar traditions @wbaltv11 @wbaljfro #Preakness151 #MiddleJewel #SecondToNone

@KenWeinmanSport An injury riddled player with a record of mediocre performances.
A perfect Mike Elias player
English
Andrew Kittredge was terrible for his second straight appearance.I think the first move the Orioles made this off season was getting him back. This bullpen isn’t inspiring confidence
English
@jfcatcher23 Our manager hasn’t watch his last 5 outings ??
Question to use with a lead let alone send him back out for a 2nd inning
English
@OriolesParade @MElias You mean Play Sam every day !
104 at bats on season while Gunner 156.
Play him!
English
EXTEND SAM BASALLO YOU COWARD @MElias
(got that one right)
English
@Neusbaum04 @jfcatcher23 Oh wow is it really 50 at bats? Good point if so
English
Samuel Basallo is absolutely ridiculous.
This front office has made a lot of mistakes. He will not be one of them.
