The highly popular Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred Championships Series (MATCH), the only one of its kind in racing, returns for 2022 with additional partner racetracks, a $2.2 million stakes schedule that spans April 16 through Oct. 3 and more than $400,000 in bonus money for owners, trainers and breeders.
After a successful 2021 Series concentrated in Maryland and Virginia and designed to serve as a bridge to the future given the cancellation of MATCH in 2020 due to widespread COVID-19 restrictions and the suspension of live racing for several months, Parx Racing and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course return to the lineup. They will join Laurel Park in Maryland and Colonial Downs in Virginia for 2022.



MTHA’s annual Christmas Party and Toy Drive returns to Laurel Park this year! Join friends and colleagues from across Maryland’s racing community on Monday, December 7, 2026, from 6 to 10 p.m. in the second-floor Sportsbar for an evening of food, live music and holiday cheer.

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.
