Maryland HB911 allows Arabian breed horse racing at Laurel Park under specific conditions.

Maryland HB911 permits the licensee at Pimlico Race Course or Laurel Park to conduct live racing of Arabian breed horses, provided no more than three such races occur during a race meet. These races must supplement, not replace, existing thoroughbred races, and the purse for Arabian breed races must be funded by the licensee or a sponsor, not the thoroughbred purse account. The licensee must also pay all applicable taxes and fees, and the races must be approved by the State Racing Commission. This Act is considered an emergency measure necessary for public health and safety.
