MARYLAND TO STAND AT WINBAK FARM (NY) IN 2026 Winbak Farm is pleased to announce that Maryland will stand in New York for the 2026 breeding season at a fee of $10,000. A winner of $1,719,655, Maryland holds a mark of 1:51.4 at 2 and 1:49.2 (BT) at 3. He was voted the 2024 Dan Patch 2-Year-Old Trotter of the Yearafter earning $1,227,695—the highest total for any racehorse that season and the second-highest single-season earnings for a 2-year-old trotter in history. As a freshman, he also set track records at both The Meadowlands and Woodbine Mohawk Park. Maryland, a well-conformed $475,000 yearling, was owned during his racing career by Courant Inc. & partners and trained by Marcus Melander. He is by Chapter Seven out of Crucial (Father Patrick–Jolene Jolene, 1:52.4F, $528,598, who was a World Champion at 2). Maryland measured 16 hands (163 cm) as a 3-year-old. On the track, Maryland recorded six career wins and finished on the board in 15 of 18 starts. His major victories as a 2-year-old include the Mohawk Million (G1), Peter Haughton Memorial (G1), William Wellwood Memorial (G1), and the Breeders Crown (G1). Breeders with a mare in foal to Maryland in 2026 will be eligible for a $5,000 discount on the share price should the stallion be syndicated. For inquiries regarding Maryland, please contact: Noelle Duspiva, Winbak Farm of New York Manager. stallions@winbakfarm.com Office: 845-778-5421 Fax: 845-778-3818
