The Twixt Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in November at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland. The Twixt Stakes, is open to fillies three years old and up and is run at one mile (eight furlongs) on the dirt.
An ungraded stakes race, it offers a purse of $50,000. The race was named in honor of the filly Twixt, a Maryland-bred Champion each year that she raced, from 1972 through 1975. She was owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Merryman and Mrs. John M. Franklin. When she retired, she had recorded the largest career earnings level of any Maryland-bred mare at $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.
