Beginning in 2025, the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association will no longer mail its monthly newsletter to members. This decision is part of a broader effort to reduce costs and allocate resources more effectively to better serve our members.
The newsletter will continue to be readily accessible through the following options:
PAPER COPIES: Available at the MTHA Grandstand Office, Stable Gate, and Recreation Room at Laurel Park.
ONLINE ACCESS: A PDF version will be posted on the MTHA website (mdhorsemen.com), which also features an archive of past editions.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to manage costs while continuing to provide timely updates and information to our community.

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.

An October 7 Daily Record article about proposed Maryland Racing Commission regulations has generated questions about increased penalties, medication enforcement and the state’s investment in Thoroughbred racing.
