The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association has begun holding bi-monthly online Backstretch Community meetings to discuss various issues and field questions from those who work in the stable areas at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course.
The regular meetings to discuss maintenance on the backstretch have been folded into the Backstretch Community meetings in order to encourage more dialogue.
All members of the backstretch community are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity. In-person meetings are expected to resume in the future when COVID-19 restrictions are loosened.
The Backstretch Community meetings are held via Zoom so they can also be streamed on Facebook Live to encourage more participation. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 1, at 11:30 a.m.
The call-in numbers are 301-715-8592 or 646-876-9923. The access code is 878 6857 5036, followed by the pound sign (#). The Zoom link is available here.



MTHA has launched a redesigned mdhorsemen.com, featuring a fresh look and a more organized layout that makes it easier for owners, trainers and backstretch workers to find the information they need.

The next Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association Board of Directors meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 24 at 11 a.m.

MTHA has launched a dedicated 2026 Board of Directors Election page at mdhorsemen.com/election, bringing candidate profiles, voting instructions and election resources together in one convenient location.
