The second phase of the transition for the temporary stalls in use at Pimlico Race Course on the grandstand side of the facility will take place July 5-7, according to a project timeline.

As of July 3, a smaller 18-stall tent was occupied by horses that had been housed in temporary stalls that had to be returned to the vendor for use elsewhere. In addition, a large tent structure that will house 66 stalls has been erected. Part of it already is being used as a Receiving Barn, and some horses relocated from the original temporary stalls had taken up residence.
