October 17 Venue???
 

Right now I'm thinking Maryland Millions Day for another all stakes card . . . practice for BC days . . . kinda!? Unless I can find something better :confused:

Jim McKay would have applauded your choice.

Yes Jim. I'm very surprised there's not one race with his name on it. Like "The Jim McKay Maryland Millions Turf Classic" or the like. He was quite a sports caster, top of the game for many years . . . to say the least.

Jim McKay was the one who came up with the idea to have this stakes day:

"Jim McKay Maryland Million Day is an annual day of stakes races thoroughbred horse races operated by Maryland Million Limited, a company formed in 1985."

“Jim McKay first conceived the idea of a day of races for Maryland-sired runners after attending the first Breeders' Cup in 1984.”

But he does have a stakes race named after him that is run on Preakness day. Ben's Cat has won it four times, the last being this year:

I am surprised the race named for him isn't run on Millions Day, though.
