(openPR) - magnabet.com offers betting on the Maryland Million on Laurel Park.
A total of 152 horses, the offspring of Maryland stallions, have been pre-entered in the 12 races which comprise the 2008 Maryland Million. Maryland’s Day at the Races will be presented at Laurel Park next Saturday, October 4.
A field of eight could compete in the $ 300.000 Maryland Million Classic including defending champion Evil Storm, multiple stakes winner Five Steps and Cuba, who finished third in the $500,000 Mass Cap last weekend.
Bowie-based Off The Glass looks to become the fifth three-time winner of a Maryland Million race- joining Docent, Countus In, Mz. Zill Bear and Safely Kept. The son of Press Card has won the $50,000 Maryland Million Starter Handicap in back-to-back years. A victory would boost the nine-year-olds career earnings over $400,000.
Introduced in 1986, the Maryland Million, a program of races restricted to the offspring of Maryland-based stallions, has been duplicated by 22 other US states. The Maryland Million continues to receive strong support from Maryland's extensive breeding industry, which includes more than 200 farms. Maryland-sired Thoroughbreds are nominated before they become 2-year-olds and remain eligible for life to run in the Maryland Million races. After 22 runnings, 199 stallions have been represented in Maryland Million races.
The live-video broadcast starts at 6pm CET (5pm GMT) and www.magnabet also offers full raceprograms and a special handicapper selection page.
