There was little clarity on the future of the Preakness Stakes as Tim Ritvo, chief operating officer of The Stronach Group, held his annual press conference during Preakness Day festivities at Pimlico Race Course May 18.
The Stronach Group has made it no secret that it wants to move the race from its longtime home at deteriorating Pimlico Race Course to Laurel Park, about 25 minutes south of the city.
Meanwhile, the city of Baltimore has filed a lawsuit seeking ownership of both Pimlico and the Preakness Stakes through condemnation.
