The Maryland Junior Hunt Cup

The Maryland Junior Hunt Cup has been run since 2001 to encourage the interest of young equestrians in horse racing. The day includes pony flat races, junior field master chases, a stick pony race and a leadline trot race and is a great way to support the future of steeplechase racing in Maryland. The 2012 Race will be held on Sunday, April 29th.

Proceeds from the Maryland Junior Hunt Cup benefit the Land Preservation Trust (LPT) and the North American Pt-to-Pt Association (NAPPA). Visit the Maryland Junior Hunt Cup website for more information.
