Timonium Fair Meet Significantly Bolstered
The Maryland State Fair at Timonium will offer the highest daily average purses in its history for the seven-day meet that runs from Friday, Aug. 27, to Monday, Sept, 6, and will experiment with a “twilight” racing card on opening day.
The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Board of Directors June 29 unanimously approved a 15% across-the-board overnight purse increase from July 2 through the end of 2021. Timonium’s base purses, normally lower than those at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course, will be the same—including the 15% in additional funds.
