Total handle on the 14-race card at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on Friday was up 29.6 percent over the record total handle on the card in 2019, the track announced. Total handle was $27.68 million, Pimlico said, a $6.33 million increase over the 2019 record of $21.35 million, also set on a 14-race card. The Friday card included four graded stakes, including the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, and two additional stakes. Pimlico’s owner, 1/ST, has been building up the Friday card over the past decade as a prelude to Saturday’s Preakness card. Attendance on Friday was limited to 10,000 spectators due to coronavirus protocols. :: Bet the races with confidence on DRF Bets.
