Move 10 Laurel in so
Could Ease Pressure
On Maryland Dates
BY me Assesiatad Press

BALTIMORE. Feb. 2e. The
famous Pimlico rack track, home
of the classic Preakness, soon may
be closed.
The Maryland Jockey Club and
the State Racing Commission
have agreed that the 79-year-old
track, where Americas finest
thoroughbreds from Survivor to
Citation have raced. should be
consolidated with Laurel.
The consolidation awaits only
the sanction Of the Maryland Leg
islature, now in session. and OBJ
servers predict that sanction is
forthcoming.
Henry A. Parr III. president Of
the Jockey Club, said the move
would not be made until next
year, even though the lawmakers
may approve the action this ses-
sion.
But 1t would mean the end Of
racing at "Old Hilltop" since
any disposition Of the Pimlico
property would carry the proviso
that it not be used for racing,
Parr said.
Scene of Great Races.
Pimlico is one of Americas old
est horse-racing tracks. 1t opened
in 1870 and three years later held
its inaugural running Of the
Preakness, one Of the three major
classics for 3-year-olds. The other
two are the Kentucky Derby and
the Belmont Stakes.
Down through the years, the
winners Of the Preakness. the Pim-
lico Special, the Dixie Handicap.
the Pimlico Cup and the Pimlico
Futurity read like racing's hall Of
fame-Survivor, winner Of the
first Preakness; Seabiscuit. War
Admiral, Challedon. Whirlaway.
Citation. Armed, Assault. Exter-
minator, Man O. War. Norwich.
Equipoise, Bimelech. Crusader,
Reign Count, Peanuts. Display,
Discovery. Count Fleet, Paul Jones,
Sun Beau. Omar Khayyam, Tom
Ochiltree. Parole. Pompoon, Oma-
/ ha, Sir Barton, Gallant Fox. Vic
torian and many more.
improvements would be effected
at Laurel to make it "one OF the
finest racing plants in the coun-
try" if the Legislature approves
the plan, Parr said. Both Pim-
lico. located in Baltimore, and
Laurel, approximately midway be-
tween Baltimore and Washington,
are operated by the Jockey Club.
Move to Combat Jersey Racing.
The Racing Commission said in
q letter to Gov. William Preston
Lane that the plan had been ar
rived at only with considerable
reluctance. but that the develop
ment of Laurel into modern
plant which would compare favor
ably with any in the country"
would greatly strengthen Mary
land racing.
One other advantage Of Laurel.
which opened In 1911, is that 1t
has a site of about 325 acres. COM
pared to the lis at Pimlico.
The commission also figures
that the transfer would put Mary
land racing in a better position
Ito meet the competition now Of

recent years in neighboring

Specifically mentioned was COM
petition from New Jersey. which
Maryland tried to avoid this year
by adopting q hodgepodge sched-
ule. Havre De Grace, between
Baltimore and Philadelphia, suf-
fered particularly from conflicts
with the Jersey tracks.
The consolidation would leave

instead Of four, the other two
being Bowie, near Washington.
