Massive Weekend for Maryland Million Maiden Fillies

No Refunds cruises home in the first race at Laurel Park on Saturay, June 30.

A total of seven Maryland Million-eligible fillies broke their maidens at Laurel Park this weekend (June 29-July 1, 2018). The winners were highlighted by Buffum’s two-year-old daughter, No Refunds, who took a Maiden Special Weight sprint for fillies on Saturday, June 30. Buffum’s son, Clever Mind, won the 2017 Maryland Million Nursery – keep an eye out for this one on October 20th!
