Jousting tournaments were big events here in Maryland up until the 1960s, and there are still some held in Charles and St. Mary's Counties. Prince George's County is also known as the home of American Thoroughbred racing. The State of Maryland has always been known for its fine horse flesh.

Up through the 1980's, Maryland was the #2 state in the country for the horse racing industry, second only to Kentucky. Maryland has dropped way off being surpassed by several states, including New Jersey....how embarassing.
