Race Course is a horse racetrack most famous for hosting
the Preakness Stakes. The track officially opened in the fall
of 1870, with the colt Preakness winning the first running of the
Dinner Party Stakes. Three years later the horse would have the
first Preakness Stakes named in his honor. The track is also noted
as the home for the match race in which Seabiscuit beat War Admiral
on November 1, 1938. The track has a one mile dirt oval and a
seven furlong turf oval. There is stabling for about 1,000 horses
