Pimlico Race Course - May 17, 2008
Pimlico Race Course is a horse racetrack in Baltimore,
Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness Stakes.
Pimlico officially opened in the fall of 1870, with the
colt Preakness winning the first running of the Dinner
Party Stakes. Three years later the horse would have the
1873 Preakness Stakes named in his honor. The track is
also noted as the home for the match race in which
Seabiscuit beat War Admiral in the second Pimlico
Special, on November 1, 1938, before a crowd of 43,000.
It is currently owned by Magna Entertainment Corp.
The
Preakness has had some memorable horse race winners with
great photo finishes. Who could ever forget horses like
Northern Dancer, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed,
Tabasco Cat, or Smarty Jones.

2008 Preakness Stakes Winner
| Big
Brown charged to the lead turning for home and then
cruised down the stretch to win the Preakness on
Saturday, still perfect and squarely pointed toward
thoroughbred racing's first Triple Crown in 30
years. Big
Brown might be the best horse this year in a
middling field of 3-year-olds. Or the colt could be
remembered as one of the greatest of all time.
