Maryland Million Turf Sprint Handicap

Maryland Million Turf Sprint Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in October since 2004 primarily at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland or at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. To be eligible for the Maryland Million Turf Sprint Handicap, a horse must be sired by a stallion who stands in Maryland. Due to that restriction the race is classified as a non-graded or "listed" stakes race and is not eligible for grading by the American Graded Stakes Committee.

The race is part of Maryland Million Day, a twelve-race program held in mid October that was the creation of renowned television sports journalist Jim McKay. The "Maryland Million" is the first State-Bred showcase event ever created. Since 1986, 27 other events in twenty states have imitated the showcase and its structure.[1]

In its sixth 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 must be nominated to the Maryland Million program.

gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
gollark: They don't seem to want to *ban* end-to-end encryption as much as backdoor the popularly used stuff. Which is still bad. I should finish writing that blog post on it some time this decade.
gollark: It's probably with consent to the extent that *any* social media apps do, i.e. "the long incomprehensible privacy policy says we can".
gollark: I wonder how they're blocking them, anyway. Just meddling with DNS? Blocking related IP addresses?
