For almost 150 years, the grandstand and stables of "Old Hill Top" Pimlico Race Track has hosted the second jewel in horseracing's Triple Crown. After this year and a steep drop in attendance, the original buildings will be torn down and moving the race to a new track until a new one is built. Gamblers, trainers, jockeys, will see the old buildings gone and with that part of their lifestyle.
