Most of the people who enjoy a day at the track are closer to Pimlico and Timonium. There are many farms with dressage and show jumpers filled with off track thoroughbreds in those areas. My lady friend and her daughter have 3 jumpers. Their favorite time at the track is Black Eyed Susan Day. If given the chance they would go to the track more often if Pimlico has more dates. Everyone thinks Laurel would be a better draw because it's between Baltimore and DC. Only problem is most of the people drawn to racing are on the other side of Baltimore. The trip to Pimlico is 15 minutes to 1/2 hours. The drive to Laurel is an hour to an hour and half.

Maybe I’ll be able to get to Timonium this September
