The Maryland Senate March 6 overwhelming passed the Racing and Community Development Act of 2020, which now goes to the House of Delegates for consideration.
There was no discussion before the vote, which was registered at 44-1. It came almost a year after Maryland lawmakers shot down a plan to rebuild Laurel Park but not Pimlico Race Course, which hosts the Preakness Stakes, third leg of the Triple Crown.



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.
