Timonium Meet Set for Seven Days in 2026

The 2026 Timonium meet will consist of seven days of live racing during the Maryland State Fair, following a one-year operating agreement between the non-profit Maryland Jockey Club and the Maryland State Fair Board of Directors. Under the agreement, The Maryland Jockey Club will provide the necessary staffing and operational support to ensure the meet can be conducted.

Racing will be conducted over two weekends:

• Friday, August 28 – Sunday, August 30
• Friday, September 4 – Monday, September 7 (Labor Day)

“Timonium continues to be an important part of our summer racing schedule,” said longtime Racing Secretary Georganne Hale. “We’re pleased to once again offer a seven-day meet that provides opportunities for horsemen in a unique and competitive setting.”

Timonium remains a distinctive stop on the Maryland circuit, offering a short, concentrated meet on the fairgrounds’ five-furlong track.

Additional condition book details and stall information will be made available as they are finalized.
