Maryland Million Oaks was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually from 1986 thru 2012 primarily at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland or at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
The race was part of Maryland Million Day, a 12-race program held in mid October that was the creation of renowned television sports journalist Jim McKay.
The metropolitan newspaper sponsored the race from 1999 through 2002 and it was called the Baltimore Sun Maryland Oaks.
In its 24th running in 2009, the race was restricted to those horses who were sired by a stallion who stands in the state of Maryland.
Both the entrant horse and their stallion had to be nominated to the Maryland Million program.
