Backstretch and racetrack employees along with all other licensees outside of owners, trainers and jockeys are reminded they must renew their Maryland Racing Commission badges by June 30.
The MRC Licensing Office in the Racing Office complex at Laurel Park will be open Thursdays for limited hours from 9 a.m.-noon and regular hours live racing days, which are Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
You must complete the licensing form, which is available in the Licensing Office and also on the MRC website for those who wish to complete it in advance to speed up the process. New stickers will only be affixed to a badge in the Licensing Office.



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.
