In keeping with a heightened focus on equine health and safety, the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association recently launched biweekly meetings that allow horsemen to interact with Track Superintendent Chris Bosley on racing surface issues.
"Coffee With Chris" is held every other Friday at 9:30 a.m. in the MTHA offices in the Laurel Park recreation room. Bosley, who was hired by the Maryland Jockey Club in April 2018, is readily available when horsemen have questions or concerns, but the regular meetings are designed to create more dialogue.




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.
