Laurel Park Race Track is an historic American thoroughbred racing track located just outside the city of Laurel, Maryland, originally opened as part of the Laurel Four County Fair grounds in 1911.

The track has hosted some of horse racing's most notable thoroughbreds over the years, including Triple Crown winners Secretariat, Whirlaway, Sir Barton, War Admiral, and Affirmed.

Its 1 ?-mile course hosts annual Grade 2, Grade 3, and Listed stakes races throughout the year, including the Maryland Million Classic, the Commonwealth Derby, the Baltimore Washington International Turf Cup, and the Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship. The track is associated with Baltimore's nearby Pimlico Race Course, which hosts the annual Preakness Stakes, a part of the Triple Crown series.
