Committees
At Cloverleaf SOA, our work is driven by specialized committees. These groups are composed of Board members and industry experts who focus on the core pillars of Maryland harness racing. Our committees ensure that every aspect of the owner and trainer experience—from the quality of the track to the size of the purse—is handled with expertise.
