The Maryland Jockey Club and Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s
Association reached an agreement in principal Dec. 17 to race up to 146
days at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course in 2012.
“I am glad we got this resolved,” said Richard Hoffberger, MTHA
president. “This means running the same amount of live days as this

The parties will continue to meet on a regular basis on developing a
long-term plan for Thoroughbred racing in the state. The goal is to have
a proposal in place by July 1, 2012.
