The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (MTHA) and The Maryland Jockey Club (TMJC) encourage all horsemen at Laurel Park to take advantage of the dedicated email system established to streamline communication and resolve issues efficiently.
If you have feedback about the racing surfaces, please email:
📧 trackissues@mdhorsemen.com
For barn and backstretch facility concerns, use:
📧 backstretchissues@mdhorsemen.com
These email addresses are monitored by MTHA and TMJC staff, and are designed to ensure your concerns are addressed as promptly as possible. If you do not have access to email, a staff member from either organization can assist in reporting your issue on your behalf.
Timely reporting helps everyone—your feedback plays a key role in keeping our facility safe, functional, and responsive to the needs of the racing 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.
