"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.
