Pimlico official says Preakness could move to Sunday in 2016 (The Associated Press)

There could come a time in the next few years when the Preakness is held on a Sunday at Laurel Park. Speaking hours before the running of the Preakness on Saturday, Maryland Jockey Club general manager Sal Sinatra said the owners of Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park are considering moving the second jewel of the Triple Crown to Sunday to increase interest and attendance. The idea is to draw fans to Pimlico on Saturday and Sunday. Pimlico’s total handle for Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan Day was $18.488 million, the highest total handle on the day before the Preakness in 10 years.
