The Maryland Stadium Authority has reached a tentative agreement to acquire Laurel Park from The Stronach Group, aiming to redevelop the historic site into a premier thoroughbred training facility. This move is projected to save the state around $50 million and secure the future of Maryland's horse racing industry amid Pimlico's redevelopment. The 151st Preakness Stakes will still take place at Laurel Park in May 2026 before racing returns to a revamped Pimlico.
Tropical Racing celebrated their horse Time for America's victory in a race at Laurel Park on February 27. The post highlighted the horse with its tongue out, described as 'tasting victory.' The win earned $28,000 for the owner and trainer Michelle Nihei.

Laurel Park has canceled its Saturday race card because of a lack of entries, with all scheduled races shifted to Sunday. This follows a similar cancellation at Penn National on Friday for the same reason. Live racing at the track resumes on Friday with an eight-race program.
