On a scale of 1-5, (1 being most important ,) how many of you deem the rebuilding of the pimlico race track , 400 million tax dollars, a priority..

How's about it's so low on my list of priorities it's going to get the coronavirus.

But, it's Bal'more county, the state will ear mark money for them but not the Thomas Johnson bridge.

Does this have anything to do with the postcard I just received from UMD asking me to take a survey about gambling in Maryland? I threw it in the trash without giving it much thought.

Personally, would not mourn the demise of thoroughbred racing.
rich white people sport
I think there should be a law, when a sport is added, one has to be taken away.
E-sports, where your fingers do the running, is the new thing, so drop thoroughbred racing

PETA should be ashamed....making perfectly good horses run for mans greedy empires!!!! What happened to good old fashioned Ice wagon horses that were whipped while carrying the load of heavy ice blocks on cobblestone winding streets in fashionable Boston, San Fransisco and Georgetown???

They could move the Preakness to Laurel...nicer track, easier to get into and out of, and keeps the Preakness in Maryland.

Pimlico has always been a dump and the area was horrible back in the 70s when I used to go up there, moving the Preakness to Laurel and tearing down Pimlico is the best option, IMO

Deja vous all over again (as my buddy Yogi use to say)
I swear there is an alternate universe that has this same thread - but I know this one to be the first.
