The Maryland Thoroughrbed Horsemen's Association is preparing for its annual Christmas Toy Drive, which is scheduled for Sat., Dec 17, at 11am in the Laurel Park kitchen.
Those who wish to participate must submit the names of their children to Diana Pinones at 410-902-6844 by Friday, Nov. 18, in order to participate in this year’s event.
The Toy Drive event traditionally features a visit from Santa Claus as well as cookies and hot chocolate courtesy of the Paz family. Please note there is live racing at Laurel that day, so make sure you are on time for the toy distribution.



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.
