Horsemen U, an online continuing education platform created by the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, New York THA and California Thoroughbred Trainers, continues to add content and offers a place for trainers and assistant trainers to maintain their CE records.
The Maryland Racing Commission earlier adopted a regulation that requires trainers to have four hours of CE per year as a condition of licensing beginning Jan. 1, 2022.
Horsemen U offers approved online CE webinars and issues CE certificates after a course and a short quiz have been completed. Trainers and assistant trainers can register, free of charge, and maintain their CE records in their account. The website for the platform is www.HorsemenU.com.




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.
