Major Redevelopment at Laurel Expected

[Southieboy]

The Maryland Jockey Club will build a new clubhouse and grandstand at Laurel Race Course on the opposite side of the existing structures at the track, as well as knock down all existing barns and relocate new ones as part of a comprehensive capital improvement plan submitted Feb. 1 to the Maryland Racing Commission and state Office of Budget and Management.

With plans to shift operations to the other side of the track, it was not clear about the fate of the historic Laurel paddock, one of the most distinctive features on the grounds.
