Eight horses have been named finalists for induction into the Maryland Thoroughbred Hall of Fame in 2024. The finalists are: Alma North, Caveat, Eightofasttocatch, Heros Reward, Post Boy, Richard's Kid, Shine Again, and Smart Angle.
To be considered, a horse must have been bred in Maryland and be retired for at least five years.
The horses selected to enter the Hall of Fame will be announced with a special ceremony Aug. 23 during live racing at the Maryland State Fair in Timonium.
The Maryland Thoroughbred Hall of Fame was created jointly by the Maryland Horse Breeders Association and Maryland Racing Media Association. It inducted its first class of 12 in 2013. There are now 33 members, ranging, alphabetically speaking, from Awad to Youth.
