PIMLICO SURFACE EXAMINATION ON TARGET FOR APRIL 17-19
The Maryland Jockey Club has confirmed that maintenance work on the dirt surface at Pimlico Race Course will begin Easter Sunday, April 17, with plans to reopen the track for training Wednesday, April 20.
MJC Acting President and General Manager Mike Rogers said a favorable weather forecast will allow the project to proceed at the preferred time rather than the following week. The track maintenance crew each year has examined the Pimlico surface prior to the May race meet and last year repaired the base in specific areas.
