The Squan Song Stakes is a race for Thoroughbred horses held in early November at Laurel Park in Maryland. The ungraded stakes race is open to three-year-olds, is run at one mile on the dirt, and offers a purse of $75,000.[1]

This race is named for Squan Song (born 1981), who was a four-time Maryland Bred champion, from 1984-1987 and earned "Horse-of-the-Year" honors in 1985. A winner of 18 of her 36 career starts, with 12 placements (ten in stakes races), the mare earned $898,4444, placing her fourth on the all-time list of top Maryland-bred money winners at the time of her retirement. She was sold by her breeder Linda Green, for $125,000 as a weanling at Keeneland.

Squan Song campaigned under the colors of owners Bob Brennan's Due ProcessStable, winning a total of 14 stakes races, including the Grade 2 Cotillion Handicap at Philadelphia Park, the Rare Treat Stakes and the Affectionately Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack. She set track records for a mile and one sixteenth in the Meadowlands Racetrack's Honey Bee Handicap and in Garden State Park Racetrack's Haddonfield Handicap.[2]
