JIM MCKAY MARYLAND MILLION DAY IS SET FOR OCTOBER 14, 2023

Reisterstown, MD - (January 5, 2023) - Save the date! The 38th edition of Jim
McKay Maryland Million Day will take place Saturday, October 14, 2023, at Laurel
Park. Jim McKay Maryland Million Day is designed to promote Maryland stallions,
whose offspring compete in the races with purses and awards of over $1 million
each year. Heading into the new year, Maryland stallion farms are gearing up for
the 2023 breeding season and looking forward to the success of the resulting
foals, the future stars of Jim McKay Maryland Million Day in 2026 and beyond.
“Jim McKay Maryland Million Day, now known as Maryland’s Day at the Races, is
truly a fun day at the races,” says Cricket Goodall, executive director, “the
races are competitive and there are great stories behind every winner.  And the
on-track entertainment like pony racing and horses and hounds adds to the appeal
for families and new fans to come out.” The 2022 edition saw eleven
Maryland-bred and twelve Maryland-sired winners, including Classic winner
Ournationonparade (Cal Nation), who became the second horse in history to win
both the Nursery and the Classic in their career. The day also saw Murmur Farm
stallion Blofeld sweep both juvenile races, as Chickieness took the Lassie and
Johnyz From Albany prevailed in the Nursery. Fille d'Esprit (Great Notion) added
to an impressive 2022 resume with her win in the Distaff, one of five stakes
wins on the year for the mare. Jim McKay Maryland Million Day, modeled on
Breeders’ Cup and designed to spotlight the stallions,  was first run in 1986 at
Laurel Park.  The day of racing celebrates the Maryland breeding and racing
industry which along with various equine activities in the State has an economic
impact of nearly $2 Billion. Contact Information: Cricket Goodall, Executive
Director cricket@marylandthoroughbred.com (410) 252.2100 ext. 111

GOVERNOR HOGAN PROCLAIMS OCTOBER ‘MARYLAND HORSE MONTH’

ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 30, 2022)—Governor Larry Hogan has proclaimed October
as Maryland Horse Month, recognizing the abundant economic, historic,
recreational, and therapeutic contributions made by the state’s horse industry.
“As the only state to host both a Triple Crown Race and two international 5-Star
events, Maryland is proud to be a leader in the horse industry,” said Governor
Hogan. “With more horses per square mile than any other state, the equine
community is a critical part of our heritage and our economy. I encourage all
Marylanders to join in celebrating Maryland Horse Month.” The proclamation
follows a very successful trade mission that the Governor and equine industry
officials made to Ireland and France in June, where agreements were signed with
equestrian organizations recognizing the international stature of Maryland’s
horse industry and offering beneficial cooperative strategies. A special feature
this year is the Grand Opening in mid October of the new Maryland Horse Library
and Education Center on Historic Main Street in Reisterstown, The center serves
as an information hub for the industry and includes a fine collection of
sporting books, a memorabilia area, meeting space, interactive kiosks and
rotating exhibits. In celebration of Maryland Horse Month, the Maryland Horse
Industry Board (MHIB) and its industry partners are conducting a digital
marketing strategy to highlight the many statewide attractions, events,
activities, trails, exhibits, and experiences with an equestrian connection.
These events include the Maryland 5-Star at Fair Hill, a major international
equestrian event that will draw competitors from across the U.S. and abroad. The
Maryland 5-Star Event takes place Oct. 13-16 at Fair Hill International in
Elkton. Other major Maryland horse events include the Capital Challenge Horse
Show, one of the largest horse shows in the country with nearly 1,400 entries,
at the Prince George’s Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro Sept. 29-Oct. 9; the
Jim McKay Maryland Million horse race at Laurel Park Racetrack in Laurel Oct.22;
and the Washington International Horse Show, also at Prince George’s Equestrian
Center Oct. 24-30. In between these major events are championship finals in
jousting – the official state sport since 1962 – rodeo and hunter/jumper
disciplines, as well as All Breed exhibitions, carriage driving displays and
numerous events hosted by the state’s 42 Horse Discovery Centers, individual
farm owners and equine organizations. “Never before has Maryland hosted so many
international caliber equestrian events in such a short time frame,” said Ross
Peddicord, executive director of MHIB. “Maryland Horse Month is a great way to
showcase our state’s equine industry.” The Maryland Department of Commerce’s
Office of Tourism has joined the Horse Industry Board and the Board’s many
private-sector equestrian organizations to promote Maryland Horse Month.
“Maryland is home to world-class destinations such as Assateague Island National
Seashore and Assateague State Park among major equestrian events that draw
thousands of visitors to the state,” said Liz Fitzsimmons, Managing Director of
the Maryland Department of Commerce Office of Tourism and Film. “Drive along the
Horses & Hounds Scenic Byway to explore our beautiful countryside also famous
for producing Thoroughbreds that have raced on major tracks across America.”

#VisitMaryland, and #MDinFocus when posting about your tour of Maryland’s
Equestrian Travel Collection. For the individual events, add #Maryland5Star,

Agriculture. Established in 1998, the MHIB helps develop and promote the state’s
horse industry. The MHIB also advises the Secretary of Agriculture on matters
