City of Baltimore: Charm'tastic Mile (USPTO) The Preakness Stakes '27 Race-In Tournament Cup (RITC)
August 5, 2026 - The "Charm'tastic Mile" of Baltimore (CTMB-1.3) <a href="https://www.thecharmtasticmile.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.thecharmtasticmile.com</a>. The chic &amp; famed 1.3 mile corridor located in the heart of&nbsp;Charm City (Est.1975)&nbsp;that connects&nbsp;Dwtn-West, the Inner Harbor &amp; Harbor East (S. Greene &amp; W. Pratt Street to S. President &amp; Fleet Street)&nbsp;that is now listed on Google search as one of the&nbsp;Top 10-15 Most Famous Streets in America&nbsp;is reporting the Preakness Stakes '27 is getting a new Think Big Idea.&nbsp;
Churchill Downs Inc. (CDI) the engine behind the Kentucky Derby and NYRA, New York Racing Association made a bold and brazen move Monday when they announced their new venture for 2027, the "Thoroughbred Racing Series". The 6-race, 5-month series of horse races would not include the Preakness Stakes. The Triple Crown as we know it will be no longer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The "Charm'tastic Mile" is proposing that the Preakness Stakes becomes an Independent Race-In Tournament for 3-year old's. The 2nd leg now becomes a 3-race, first race 12-13 horses, second race 12-13 horses, the top 6 finishers from each race and a wild-card horse will form the 3rd race, that's 13 horses for the finale, The Preakness:&nbsp;Race-In Tournament Championship Cup. The Race-In Tournament Cup becomes a USPTO <a href="https://www.uspto.gov/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.uspto.gov</a> extension brand of The Preakness.&nbsp;
This gives Baltimore &amp; the DMV its own exclusive racing series for 2-months during the 5-months of TRS. The Preakness Stakes now has to become its own brand, but still has the "Triple Crown" 151-year old link as a foundation to its new racing series.&nbsp;
With 3 Independent races over the 7-8 weeks, TV (NBC retains rights to Preakness) and sponsorships would be for all 3-races in the package. The 2-month season allows for more targeted events around the newly constructed Pimlico venue. Hotel rooms and&nbsp;airplane flights can also be looped into packages for all 3 races. Restaurants will benefit as well from more potential patrons visiting downtown and the Baltimore-area.&nbsp;
The "Charm'tastic Mile" believes a concept of this nature will be able to eventually blend-in with the "Thoroughbred Racing Series" and form a merger like the AFL/NFL &amp; ABA/NBA of the 1970's.&nbsp;
