Maryland Million Turf is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in October since 1986 primarily at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland or at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
The race is part of Maryland Million Day, a 12-race program held in mid October that was the creation of renowned television sports journalist Jim McKay.
Because of inclement weather the race was moved to the main track on dirt in 1992 and in 1995.
In its 30th running in 2015, the race is restricted to those horses who were sired by a stallion who stands in the state of Maryland.
Both the entrant horse and their stallion must be nominated to the Maryland Million program.
