Quiz For Mdryldnders
Answer 70 Question Z:

Answer to Question Z:
In his diary George Washington
wrote "did attend the Races in
Maryland, did take Dinner with
the Gentlemen Of the Maryland
Jockey Club" Washington bred
"Blooded Horses" at Mt, Vernon,
was an enthusiastic rider and fox
hunter. He always attended Mary
land racing, counted "the Gentle
men of the Maryland Jockey
Club" his friends.
Answer to Question 2:
Your tax would be bigger if
Maryland did not have high class
racing at Pimlico because your
state "owns" the pari-mutuel con-
cessions at the Maryland race
courses and collects over one mil
lion dollars a year. Only high class
racing will sustain this state reve-
nue.. The higher class the racing,
the greater its benefits. Cheap rae
ing produces neither good racing
nor good taxes. The quality Of
Maryland racing most certainly
affects your personal taxes.

One of the few racing associa-
tions in the world to offer "a Stake
Race Every Day" is Pimlico. A
Stake Race is the highest class
