The thoroughbred race horse Journalism won a thrilling 150th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico in Baltimore yesterday. The third jewel of the Triple Crown will move to Laurel Race Course next year as the Pimlico venue will undergo long overdue renovations.

In a sense Baltimore was the center of the sports news world as the under performing Baltimore Orioles relieved manager Brandon Hyde of his duties. The Orioles then went on to lose again to the Washington Nationals later in the day.

Maryland’s beautiful spring weekend continues today with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper 70’s to near 80 degrees.

Similar weather awaits us on Monday with temps reaching about 78 degrees.
