2021 MTHA Toy Drive: A Huge Success!
The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association in December hosted perhaps its most successful Christmas Toy Drive in history thanks to contributions from numerous individuals.
The toys were distributed the morning of Saturday, Dec. 18, in the Laurel Park Track Kitchen along with a visit from Santa Claus and refreshments again provided by the Paz family. The MTHA thanks all the owners and trainers who contributed toys or money to purchase toys; jockey Victor Carrasco; Beau Cavell with Hi Lo Auto Sales, who donated eight new children’s bicycles; and the Maryland Jockey Club and Laurel patrons, who donated toys through the track’s “bring a gift, get a gift” program the weekend before Christmas.

At its September 9 open Board meeting, the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (MTHA) Board of Directors voted unanimously to increase the purse allocation for finishers from 6th place through last in overnight races. The payout, which had been fixed at $300 since April 2022, will now rise to $500, effective immediately.
Maryland horsemen have emerged as meaningful beneficiaries of the collaborative dual-state stakes schedule and new bonus incentives, according to statistics covering the period from June 21 through August 23 of this year.
