Aftercare Funding Initiative Beginning Jan. 1

The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Board of Directors recently approved an initiative designed to increase funding for the Beyond The Wire aftercare program.
Effective Jan. 1, 2022, pending review from the Maryland Racing Commission, there will be an assessment of 1.5% on the price of a claimed horse at Maryland racetracks. For example, the new owner or ownership group that claims a horse for $10,000 would pay a $150 assessment that would be used to support racehorses accepted by Beyond The Wire.
