An annual tradition is back at Laurel Park Oct. 19 with the 34th Jim McKay Maryland Million Day, which celebrates and continues the history of thoroughbred racing in the state of Maryland.
Maryland Million Day began in 1986 and has evolved into a one-day event with a total purse of $1 million spread out across 11 stakes races.
"What's unique about it is that it's the one time in the year where all the of the horses running, just about, are the children of stallions that are actually based and located in farms throughout Maryland," Daniel Tordjman of America's Best Racing said on Glenn Clark Radio Oct. 17.
