In this May 15, 2009, file photo, exercise rider Celia Fawkes walks Preakness entrant Big Drama on the track at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Laurel Park and Pimlico were ready to shut down before Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley orchestrated a deal that includes state bailout money and a contribution of $1.7 million from breeders and horse owners. That assured that there will be 146 days of live racing in 2011. The long-term future of the sport in the state, however, remains as uncertain as a trifecta bet containing a pair of long shots.
