Peter Angelos wants to help the Preakness:
Baltimore Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos said yesterday that he or his family are poised to help Maryland keep the Preakness Stakes, a storied horse race whose fate has been imperiled by its owner’s recent bankruptcy.
The wealthy Baltimore lawyer met last evening with Gov. Martin O’Malley and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller at the State House. They said they discussed concerns that a buyer could move the Preakness out of state and the possibility of Angelos stepping forward as an investor.
Because he’s done such a great job with the Orioles. My advice to the Preakness; just say no to Angelos!

The current debate in Maryland is whether to expend tax dollars for this private enterprise.
Better Angelos’s money than mine.

Also, Angelos’ preakness is better than no preakness.

When the General Assembly got involved with the Colts, that’s what chased them out of town. Ever wonder why Irsay left in middle of the night? The General Assembly had just passed a bill to exercise eminent domain over the franchise. That’s the part they don’t tell you.
I’m not defending Irsay. It’s quite possible that he would have left anyway, but Maryland’s unaccountable legislature pushed him out with their arrogant overreach.
