LAUREL, MD – The Maryland Jockey Club announced today that respected racing official Jillian Tullock has been appointed racing secretary at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course.

Tullock worked in nearly every capacity for the Maryland Jockey Club from 1994-2019, including assistant racing secretary under Georganne Hale.

“It’s great to be back with people I know and love,” Tullock said. “I look forward to working with everyone at the Maryland Jockey Club, the 1/ST Racing team, and horsemen throughout North America. Thoroughbred racing in Maryland continues to grow, and I’m very excited about the future.”

Tullock, who grew up in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and has a sports management degree, spent summers working in the racing office of the New York Racing Association tracks.
