The showcase will begin at 8:00 a.m. in Laurel’s historic paddock where eight breeding farm representatives will speak on behalf of the stallions standing on their farms for the 2020 season. There will be appearances by two stallions: Anchor and Hope Farm’s Imagining and Wasabi Ventures Stallions’ Force The Pass.
Representatives from Northview Stallion Station, Country Life Farm, Bonita Farm, Shamrock Farm, Murmur Farm and Legacy Farm Stallions will speak at the showcase.
Free breakfast will be included for guests, with everyone invited to a complimentary luncheon hosted by the Maryland Jockey Club in the Ruffian Room (second floor of the Clubhouse) at noon, where stallion representatives will be available to meet and greet.
