This is a reminder that the Renaissance Champions Awards dinner will be held Friday, April 14, from 6-10 p.m. at Citron Restaurant & Bar, which is located at 2605 Quarry Lake Drive, Baltimore MD 21209.
The Renaissance Champions Awards were first given in 2018 to honor the top Maryland-bred Thoroughbred racehorses as well the leading owner, trainer, jockey, breeder, stallion and broodmare of 2017. The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association also honors the Grooms of the Year at Laurel Park and Pimlico.




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.
