Over 450 Meals Served to Backstretch

More than 450 turkey dinners complete with mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls were served at the track kitchens at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, courtesy of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association.

Special thanks go to Miguel Paz, sons Bryant and Mike, and their staff for preparing the meals that were served from early morning through mid-afternoon at both racetracks. Anyone who was at either track Thanksgiving was welcome to come for the free meals.

The MTHA also would like to thank the Maryland Jockey Club for again donating hundreds of apple and pumpkin pies from Clements Pastry Shop to backstretch workers. The Paz family handed out the pies with the turkey dinners.
