A day at the races is a glimpse of the good life in Baltimore City - May 10, 2008 - About this time of the year a set of news stories appear to reveal how the spectator side of thoroughbred racing is about to perish. I read the accounts about Pimlico's fallen glory days and that the stands are empty, except for Preakness day.
