Maryland has announced plans to buy the Preakness Stakes, keeping the Triple Crown race in the state and quashing concerns that a for-profit company would move it. Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland Jockey Club, the state’s nonprofit racing partner, said the offer matches an $85 million bid from Churchill Downs Inc. to acquire the intellectual property rights from 1/ST Racing. Churchill, the for-profit owner of the Kentucky Derby, has earned a reputation among equestrians for closing tracks nationwide.
