Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be present at Laurel Park for the 41st Annual Jim McKay Maryland Million Day on October 24, 2026. This day is dedicated to celebrating and promoting Maryland-bred racehorses that compete in notable races.
To highlight the importance of accredited aftercare during the day of the event, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will present a race. After the running of the race, a presentation will be made in the winner's circle where the winning connections will receive a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance gift bag and blanket.
"Maryland Million Day celebrates Maryland's Thoroughbred industry, making it a fitting time to highlight the importance of aftercare," said Fritz Widaman, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sponsorships for The Maryland Jockey Club. "We're proud to recognize Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and its mission to support Thoroughbreds beyond racing."
Additionally, the 2026 VIP Maryland Million experience, generously donated by 1/ST RACING, will once again be enjoyed by returning winners through the "Off to the Races" online benefit auction hosted by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.
"We appreciate The Maryland Jockey Club's continued support in raising awareness of the importance of Thoroughbred aftercare," said Emily Dresen, Director of Fundraising & Events at Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. "Maryland Million Day provides a valuable opportunity to recognize our industry's shared responsibility to support Thoroughbreds throughout their lives beyond racing."
