April 30, 2021

Live Racing Returns Saturday with Special 12:15 P.M. Post Time

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.

Pimlico Press Release

I am riding with PastTheWire on the Ky Derby trail for the second year in a row, paying attention to this and all subsequent videos and Clubhouse Notes, etc. Jazzed to be part of the action, with a head full of potential scores. Once more unto the breach, 2026! All the best, and thank you, Jonathan Stettin
