Leaf, Roadcap stables earn first two Timonium barn awards

Trainers Bobby Leaf and Laura Roadcap are the winners of the first two “best kept” barn awards at the Maryland State Fair at Timonium.
The State Fair, which currently is housing more than 550 horses from Laurel Park, the week of June 6 began recognizing trainers who keep the area around their barns spruced up. One barn is recognized each week for as long as the horses are stabled at Timonium during the reconstruction of the Laurel dirt track.
Andy Cashman, General Manager of the State Fair, said the judges walk the barns on a daily basis and take notes on trainers whose stabling and maintenance of the stables and road area are organized, raked and generally clean. Each judge selects the top three in their estimation and takes into consideration the work required for horsemen with a larger number of horses.
