Coffee With Chris' offers opportunity to discuss racing surface
In keeping with a heightened focus on equine health and safety, the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association recently launched biweekly meetings that allow horsemen to interact with Track Superintendent Chris Bosley on racing surface issues.
"Coffee With Chris" is held every other Friday at 9:30 a.m. in the MTHA offices in the Laurel Park recreation room. Bosley, who was hired by the Maryland Jockey Club in April 2018, is readily available when horsemen have questions or concerns, but the regular meetings are designed to create more dialogue.

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.
