Default Pimlico

What's so bad about the place, sure it's old but what's wrong with that.
As far as the triple crown goes they put on the best show of the three.

Pimlico is like a haunted house on Coney island. I have a good time at the preakness every year but it offers nothing in comparison to alot of other tracks. Its lower level..closer to a mountaineer then a keeneland. I'm pretty sure they haven't as much as changed a light bulb there in the past decade I've been going

The Maryland Jockey Club announced earlier this month that it would offer a Pick 5 with an industry-low 12-percent takeout during the Pimlico meet,

I have been back three times since on Preakness day we get seats in the grandstand which are not too expensive decent food and drink at the seats and just an overall decent vibe.
