Trainer Tim Salzman, who relocated his stable to the Maryland State Fair at Timonium because of the ongoing reconstruction of the Laurel Park dirt track, is the latest to be recognized by State Fair officials for having a "best kept" barn.

Trainers Bobby Leaf and Laura Roadcap were earlier winners. The State Fair, which currently is housing more than 550 horses from Laurel, 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.
