REMINDER: In Today Sign Use Mandatory
The Maryland Jockey Club is again reminding horsemen to use the red-and-white “In Today” signs on horses’ stalls as part of important race-day protocol at Laurel Park and Pimlico.
The signs, which are available at the MTHA office in the Laurel grandstand, are recommended as part of National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance best practices for security in the barn area. They are designed in part to assist regulatory veterinarians in identifying horses that are scheduled to receive Lasix on race day.

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.
