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.
