During its open Board meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (MTHA) Board of Directors unanimously approved the attached stakes schedule for November and December 2025.
The schedule, developed in conjunction with the Maryland Jockey Club, features 14 stakes races with purses totaling $1.65 million.
“This schedule continues our commitment to strong year-end racing opportunities in Maryland while providing valuable stakes opportunities for horsemen and their stables,” said MTHA President Katharine M. Voss.
The approved schedule ensures continuity with prior years while incorporating enhancements developed in partnership with the Maryland Jockey Club.





The MTHA will hold a public meeting Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time via Zoom to discuss a proposed digital auction process for horses receiving two or more claims in a claiming race.
