The Deputed Testamony Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held in February at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland. It is open to Maryland-bred three-year-olds and is run at one mile (8 furlongs) on the dirt. The race was run for the 28th time in 2012.
An ungraded stakes, it offers a purse of $100,000. The Deputed Testamony Stakes is also one of Maryland's Triple Crown prep races. The winner of the race typically moves on to compete in the Private Terms Stakes held in March at Laurel Park Racecourse as well, but winners have also gone to New York and Kentucky for their next races.
The race was named in honor of Deputed Testamony, the 1983 Preakness Stakes winner and the last Maryland-bred champion three-year-old colt. Deputed Testamony was the son of Traffic Cop out of the mare Proof Requested. Traffic Cop was standing at Bonita Farm, so Deputed Testamony was bred, born, raced, retired, stood and pensioned at the same farm. He was bred and owned by his trainer, J. William (Bill) Boniface.
