Sponsored by the Mary- land Jockey Club, Canter for a Cause is scheduled to run from 10 AM to 3 PM, rain or shine. Registration is $60 per trip, with proceeds going to benefit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA). Entries will be taken in four groups – Seabiscuit (walk, trot, canter, and gallop), Secretariat (walk, trot, and slow canter), War Admiral (walk and trot) and Ben’s Cat (lead line). Each regis- trant will be assigned a ride time. Participants will also have their picture taken by the official track photographer in the winner’s circle. Horses must have proof of a negative Coggins test within 12 months. All riders must sign a waiver and wear approved helmets, and riders under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. No colts, stallions, or ridglings are allowed. Pimlico is the second-oldest racetrack in the country, opened in 1870.
