The Maryland Horse Breeders Association (MHBA) today announced the results of its board of directors election.
Maryland’s horsemen and breeders outlined to the Racetrack Operating Authority a vision of the future that may not include the current track operator.
The 6-month Maryland racing agreement may allow the Maryland Jockey Club to consolidate training and stabling at Laurel, ending them at Pimlico.
A bill passed late in the legislative session creates a racetrack operating authority that advocates hope is the framework for Maryland racing’s future.
Veterinarian Michael Harrison is the new president of the Maryland Horse Breeders Association, with a new vice-president and secretary/treasurer also announced.
Growing funds and the perception that the state’s racing and breeding programs have a stable foundation are fueling a Maryland breeding industry rebirth.
