The Future of Horse Racing in the 21st Century

Leonard Raskin and Nestor have conducted a discussion regarding the future of horse racing in Maryland, specifically examining the current state of Pimlico and the Preakness.

The conversation centered on the sustainability of the sport and its perceived decline in visibility. The participants questioned how the sport is navigating the challenges of the modern era.

A primary point of concern raised during the discussion was the sport’s relationship with the general public. It was noted that As horse racing seemingly goes away from the public consciousness over the next 11 months, we wonder aloud about the 21st century realities of a changing landscape.

The dialogue emphasized the need to address these contemporary realities to determine the long-term viability of Maryland’s most prominent racing traditions.
