The mission of the Maryland Racing Commission is to regulate pari-mutuel betting in Maryland through the implementation and enforcement of policies, and to safeguard the participants in racing, as well as the betting public. The Commission oversees and regulates both the harness and thoroughbred horse racing industry in Maryland. This includes Maryland's seven off-track betting sites. Maryland is also the proud host of the Preakness, the second jewel of thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown.
