MJC Security Reminder On Travel Policy

The Maryland Jockey Club, through its Security Department, would like to remind the community on policies related to dormitory rooms.

Any employee who leaves the backstretch for vacations, temporary relocation at another racetrack, or travel for visas and other immigration-related reasons, etc., is required to give the Security Department advance notice. Upon departure, all room keys should be left with Security.

For those who do not return within 21 days, their room will be cleaned and the contents of the room removed and placed in a storage trailer at Laurel Park. 

Security has noted that given the increase in the number of backstretch employees since the closure of the Pimlico Race Course stable area, dormitory rooms are at a premium and there is a waiting list for occupancy. It is in the best interests of all residents who plan to be away longer than 10 days to make arrangements for storage of their belongings and to assure there is a room available upon their return.

Please note that trainers who plan to bring help to Laurel must notify Francisco Saez, the MJC rooms officer, in advance to ensure that rooms are available. Rooms are not guaranteed.
