The owner of Pimlico Race Course has reached an agreement to donate the historic Baltimore track to the Maryland state government, allowing the state to take over operations of the storied sport of thoroughbred horse racing, officials said Thursday.
The Stronach Group, which has owned Pimlico for more than a decade, has made “a binding commitment” to transfer the track to the state as early as this summer, according to state officials, with the state taking over racing operations next year. Stronach representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
