Timonium Releases Summer’s Racing Schedule

The Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society announced July 24 the Thoroughbred racing schedule for Timonium’s 2023 meet which runs seven days from Aug. 25 to Sept. 4 and offers purses of $287,000 daily.

The meet will conduct two added-money events this year. The $100,000 Timonium Distaff for fillies and mares, 3-years-old and up, going 6 1/2 furlongs Aug. 26, and the $100,000 Timonium Juvenile for 2-year-olds going 6 1/2 furlongs Sept. 2. Both races are $75,000 guaranteed, plus $25,000 for Maryland-bred or Maryland-sired. The Maryland State Fair is sponsoring $20,000 in trainers’ awards, and grooms awards for the best turned out horse in each race will also be awarded.

Annual College Day at the Fair will take place on Aug. 26. Ten $1,000 college scholarships are awarded to preregistered full-time college students in attendance. College Day is designed to attract young millennials to experience Thoroughbred racing and the Maryland State Fair.

“Without the leadership of Gerry Brewster, chairman of our board; Donna Myers, president; Bill Marlow, race committee chairman; and, the support of the entire board of directors and staff of the Maryland State Fair, these developments would not be possible. As always, we are particularly excited about College Day at the Fair on Aug. 26, along with the two added money events offered this year, and thank the sponsors and horsemen for supporting us,” said Bill Reightler, director of racing operations.
