Trainers and owners are encouraged to submit nominations to MTHA the staff, preferably before the Christmas holiday. To submit a worker to be considered email their name, position and a summary of why they deserve this award to info@mdhorsemen.com. 

The MTHA each year celebrates the contributions of those who work with our Thoroughbreds each day in the stable area.
