The John B. Campbell Handicap is an American thoroughbred horse race run annually at Laurel Park Racecourse, in Laurel, Maryland, U.S.. Run in mid-February, it is open to horses age three and older and is contested on dirt over a distance of miles (9 furlongs). The purse is $100,000. ==Honoree and inaugural== The race was named for John Blanks Campbell, an internationally-noted racing secretary and the handicapper who set the annual Experimental Free Handicap weights, who died at age 77 on July 7, 1954.〔(New York Times - December 3, 1954 )〕〔(New York Times - December 5, 1954, article titled "Race Named for Handicapper" )〕 The inaugural edition of the John B.
