The MHBA Yearling

by a well-known national trainer invited by the Yearling Show Committee. See the Yearling Show Guide for more information about the day.
There are four classes. One for Maryland-sired colts and

and geldings, out-of-state-sired fillies.
Most importantly, in addition to prize money distributed the day

Show Purse Awards, totaling $40,000.
There are two opportunities to win these purse awards.
A $40,000 MHBA Yearling Show purse will be split and distributed
twice:
$20,000 will go to the top four money-winners* racing as 2-year-olds
and another $20,000 will be awarded the following year to the four
highest-earning* 3-year-old performers.
*all earnings verifiable by The Jockey Club.
