Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, Maryland

Pimlico's grandstand on Preakness weekend in 2022, with the turf course in the foreground. The track opened in 1870, making it the second oldest in the country after Saratoga, and the Preakness Stakes is named after the colt that won its opening-day feature. Locals still call it Old Hilltop, after a rise in the infield that was leveled in 1938. The old buildings were demolished after the 2025 Preakness for a full rebuild, with the race due back in Baltimore in 2027.
