Fidelity First Home Mortgage, based in Annapolis, Md., is the initial sponsor for a new groom recognition program that begins Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, at Laurel Park.

The Maryland Jockey Club is partnering with the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association to implement a Best Turned Out Award to honor the unsung heroes of racing. For each race on every live racing day beginning Nov. 25, the groom of the best turned out horse will be awarded a $25 gift card and recognized on television and simulcast broadcasts and by track announcer Dave Rodman. On Thanksgiving Day, winners will be awarded a $100 gift card provided by sponsor Fidelity First.

Dan Eubanks, a longtime Thoroughbred owner in Maryland and President of Fidelity First, said the company was happy to help launch the new program.
