Meet Jason Wood
With deep Kentucky roots, I was born with an endless love for horses and racing. My dad owned several horses, so my favorite memories are either at the track or in the barn. I always tell my friends that I could read a racing program before I knew the alphabet! The Illinois racing circuit was home for many years. The majestic weeping willows along the backstretch of Arlington soon gave way to the warm winter nights under the lights at Sam Houston. Now, I am proud to call the great horse state of Maryland my home!
My dad has passed on to the big track in the sky, but this sport allows me to carry a piece of him with me every time I walk around the track. I feel like I am a winner every time I get to be a part of racing, even if my pick doesn’t leave the starting gate!
Here in the Old Line State, horse racing is alive and well! The exciting changes remind me that horse racing is alive and well! I look forward to celebrating and growing the sport with all of you!
