Laurel Park Picks, Results & Big 'Uns

Laurel Park in Laurel, Maryland, opened on October 2, 1911, and carries most of Maryland's racing calendar, from fall through early summer. It hosted the 2026 Preakness Stakes while Pimlico is being rebuilt.

The State of Maryland bought Laurel in July 2026. Under the state's plan, Laurel will become a year-round training center and close to live racing once the rebuilt Pimlico reopens, so its racing dates are worth checking as that work progresses.
