A celebration of Mr. Fine Threads, the 2026 Maryland Hunt Cup winner, was hosted at the Greenspring Valley Hunt Club on April 29th.

After winning the Grand National the previous weekend, this Maryland-bred horse ran through wet and rainy conditions to defeat Shootist in a stretch battle. Having fallen in his two previous Hunt Cup attempts, the third time was the charm with a thrilling victory!

Congratulations to owner Armata Stables, trainer Joe Davies, and jockey Charlie Marshall.
