when will renovations at pimlico be completed

Renovations at Pimlico Race Course are expected to be completed in spring 2027 , with multiple reports saying the revamped track should be ready in time for the 2027 Preakness Stakes. Recent coverage also says the project remains ongoing in 2026 while Preakness is being held at Laurel Park instead.

What that means

• The demolition and rebuild began in 2025.

• The goal is for racing to return to Pimlico in 2027.

• Some sources describe the finish window more specifically as spring 2027.

Current status

• Pimlico is still under renovation, not yet finished.

• The 2026 Preakness is being run at Laurel Park because of the work at Pimlico.

• The latest reporting suggests the project is still on schedule for the 2027 return.

In plain terms

If you just want the shortest answer: Pimlico renovations are expected to wrap up in 2027, likely by spring, so the track can host the Preakness again that year.
