Pimlico still has more than a month until itโ€™s under the national spotlight for the Preakness Stakes. But today, the famed track will be occupied by runners of a more squat variety: bulldogs. The Racing of Bulls, as itโ€™s known, is all part of Bulldog Day, hosted by Hunt Valley Animal Hospital. There will also be contests for English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs and Boston Terriers; prizes; food trucks and, apparently, a kissing booth. Come on out for a day of human and canine socializing during a celebration of all things bulldog.

9 a.m.-2 p.m., Pimlico Race Course, 5201 Park Heights Ave., (410) 527-0800, bulldogday2018.com.
