Preakness 2025: Pimlico is being rebuilt. What's changing and where is the race next year?
The stage is set for the 150th running of the Preakness on Saturday, the final race at Pimlico Race Course before the track undergoes a massive overhaul that will include its demolition and complete rebuild. In June, workers at Pimlico will begin moving out, putting up fences and handling pre-demolition utility work among other steps to get ready for the tear-down. The overhaul was needed because of the track's age. Opened in 1870, the facility has numerous issues, including leaky ceilings, a single elevator that doesn't always work, and a section of the grandstand that had to be condemned in 2019 because it could no longer safely support patrons. The new clubhouse is planned, modeled after the Rawlings Conservatory botanical garden in Druid Hill and the original Pimlico clubhouse that burned down decades ago. It will have a colonnade and rooftop balconies that overlook the track, which Craig Thompson of the Maryland Stadium Authority said is 'a nod to the porches of the original clubhouse.' Barns on the east side of the track will be able to house about 400 horses. Pimlico currently hosts about 15 racing days per year. However, the reconstructed course would feature more than 100 live racing days yearly. In addition, racing and daily training will provide year-round economic activity, entertainment and jobs for the Park Heights community. The oval track at Pimlico will not be rotated or moved from its current alignment. Historians have supported keeping the current racing oval to maintain Pimlico's longstanding tradition. In addition to the new track at Pimlico, a new hotel and event space are planned. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development has invested $10 million to support housing, job training, workforce development and other community initiatives in Park Heights.

Preakness 2025 Q&A: FanDuel TV's Gabby Gaudet on Pimlico and family Enter Metallica: Sandman has some hard-rocking fans going into Preakness READERS RESPOND: Here's what people say is their favorite part of Preakness 1/ST Racing president says Triple Crown 'in jeopardy' with current schedule Baltimore-based Henson Development Co. and The NHP Foundation plan a massive redevelopment in the 4600 and 4800 blocks of Park Heights Avenue, near the track. Construction will include an apartment building, 17 single-family detached homes to be sold, and new water, sewer and street infrastructure across 17 acres. The new race course is expected to generate $52.7 million in state economic activity, including $48.8 million in Baltimore City, according to the Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority. The facility will also support about 500 jobs and be a year-round hub of economic activity in Park Heights, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said. The Pimlico upgrade is expected to cost $400 million, paid by state bonds. The Board of Public Works — which includes Moore, Comptroller Brooke Lierman and Treasurer Dereck Davis — approved $14.3 million for the demolition and start of construction. The board approved about $890,000 in pre-construction work in October. In addition, the state also approved nearly $4.5 million to purchase that training site, which will be known as 'Shamrock,' in Woodbine. The Preakness will move to Laurel Park in 2026, and if the rebuild remains on schedule, a new Pimlico will welcome the historic race back in May 2027. Have a news tip?

2025 Preakness Stakes odds: Which horse has the best odds to win after post draw?
2025 Preakness Stakes odds: Which horse has the best odds to win after post draw? Show Caption Hide Caption Preakness 2025 race won't include Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty After Sovereignty's win at the Kentucky Derby, horse racing handicapper Ed DeRosa talks about future of the Triple Crown and Preakness Stakes 2025. The second race of the coveted Triple Crown is coming up this weekend. Normally, the Preakness Stakes would provide an opportunity for fans to see whether the winner of the Kentucky Derby would have a legitimate shot at a Triple Crown, but after it was announced that Derby winner Sovereignty would not participate in the Preakness, the field is wide open for a new winner. Of course, the odds can shift tremendously based on the post position of each horse. With the post draw taking place, here are the latest odds for each horse in this year's Preakness Stakes on Saturday. All odds via The Preakness Stakes. Preakness Stakes 2025: Date, time and everything you need to know 2025 Preakness Stakes post draw, odds: *Jockeys are listed in parentheses Goal Oriented (Flavien Prat) | 6-1 Journalism (Umberto Rispoli) | 8-5 American Promise (Nik Juarez) | 15-1 Heart of Honor (Saffie Osborne) | 12-1 Pay Billy (Raul Mena) | 20-1 River Thames (Irad Ortiz Jr.) | 9-2 Sandman (John Velazquez) | 4-1 Clever Again (Jose Ortiz) | 5-1 Gosger (Luis Saez) | 20-1 Journalism is the heavy favorite after the post draw, and rightfully so. Journalism has never finished worse than third in any race it has competed in. In fact, the horse won four of its six races. Journalism's remarkable speed score of 111 also makes it a pretty safe bet to win. That stellar résumé is reflected in the odds. Journalism's 8-5 odds are way higher than the next-best horse, Sandman, who sits at 4-1 currently. Preakness Stakes: Rodriguez out of race, leaving only one Kentucky Derby horse in the field
