BALTIMORE, Md. – High winds forced the Maryland Jockey Club to suspend live racing following Friday’s third race at Pimlico Race Course.

The Baltimore area is under a high-wind warning through 2 a.m. Saturday with winds at 25 to 35 mph and gusts up to 60 mph.

With Pimlico hosting the first two legs in Races 8 and 9, Friday’s weekly national Stronach 5 wager was also cancelled. It is scheduled to return Friday, May 7.

Pimlico will host a nine-race program Saturday with a special 12:15 p.m. post time on Kentucky Derby (G1) day from Churchill Downs.

Great story Jon. I've read it before and it was nice to refresh my memory. No doubt Past The Wire is in my view The best thoroughbred racing channel and website on the internet. Thank you for creating and maintaining it.
