The Twixt Stakes is an American Thoroughbredhorse race held annually in November at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland. It is a restricted stakes race open to Maryland-bred fillies three years old and up and is run at seven furlongs on the dirt.[1]
An ungraded stakes race, it offers a purse of $75,000 as of 2017. The race was named in honor of the filly Twixt, a Maryland-bred Champion each year that she raced, from 1972 through 1975. Mrs. John M. Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. John Merryman, and themselves owned her. She had the highest career earnings of any mare bred in Maryland when she retired, totaling $699,143. She was Maryland-bred "Horse-of-the-Year" in 1973 and 1974. Twixt started in 71 races, and her 18 stakes wins (including the Barbara Fritchie Handicap twice) were also a Maryland-bred record when she retired. Twixt was born in 1969 out of the Restless Native mare Quarter Deck, who was bred by the Merrymans. She was trained by the Merrymans' daughter, Katherine (Katy) Merryman Voss.[2]
