, founder and CEO of Under Armour, may be entering Maryland horse racing’s biggest stage.

Tiger Walk, a colt at Plank’s Sagamore Farm in Glyndon, could take part in the 137th running of the $1 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course, the Maryland Jockey Club said. The race is slated for May 19.

The colt has had a third place and two fourth place finishes in three 2012 races.

Horse racing purses receive funding through revenue from state . More than $8 million has been allocated for that purpose in fiscal 2012, 7 percent of the nearly $125 million the state has received this year from its two slots casinos in and in Berlin.
