In our Flag Trivia question last week, we asked what popular Maryland sport used this flag? The answer is horseracing! This flag was used as a finish flag in the first-ever Maryland Hunt Cup horserace in 1894. The annual American Steeplechase race takes place in Maryland’s Worthington Valley and has over 22 fence jumps throughout its four-mile course.
