this should be called - let the brainwashing to support us closing old hilltop begin - still waiting for all the pimlico PROMISED (but never done)improvements - laurel is too close to dc and a bitch to get too from the north - maybe if pim wasn't continuing to decline because of crappy maintenance and upkeep (except fot the track itself)people would attend more often - yes - I know the state of racing - however - losing a really historical track is bad - stronach - sell your md holdings to one of the several groups willing to buy - we really hate you and your $ hungry staff of out of towners/know nothings! you ruined gulfstream (the mall is a bust - anyone bothering to renew their lease? NO PREAKNESS AT LAUREL!!!
MJC Schedules Town Hall Meeting at Laurel

The Maryland Jockey Club will host a town hall meeting with industry leaders Nov. 20 to share and discuss its vision for the future of the Maryland Thoroughbred industry.
The town hall meeting, open to industry stakeholders, the media, and public, will be held in the Carriage Room at Laurel Park. It will begin at 6 p.m. EST after a free buffet dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Speakers include Tim Ritvo, chief operating officer for The Stronach Group; Maryland Racing Commission member Bruce Quade, and general counsel Alan Foreman of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.
"We believe this is a good time to get together as a group to discuss what our hopes and plans are for the Maryland Thoroughbred industry, as well as answer any questions from the public and other stakeholders who support the industry," Ritvo said Nov. 5. "I believe this is an exciting time for Maryland racing, but we believe there's so much more potential.
"I believe the town hall will bring everyone together for a positive and productive discussion."
Total pari-mutuel handle on Maryland racing is up $53 million from last year, and the MJC's off-track betting facility at the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Baltimore has handled more than $5 million in less than six months of operation. Nearly 20,000 people attended Jim McKay Maryland Million Day Oct. 17.
The MJC has spent more than $17 million the past 10 months renovating Laurel. Renovations have included new barns, flooring, seating and concession stands, a renovated simulcast area, and high-definition televisions throughout its facility and on its broadcast.
