The Mister Diz Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in August at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland. It is open to horses three-year-olds and up and is raced on turf. It is contested over a distance of 5 furlongs.


The race was named in honor of Mister Diz, who was bred and owned by former Pimlico Race Course Vice-President Nathan Cohen. Mister Diz was named Maryland-bred champion for four consecutive years from 1968-1971. He was the Champion two year-old, three year-old and champion older horse twice. He was also named Champion turf horse twice. Mister Diz, a foal of 1966, came from very modest origins. He was a gelding out of Panacean and earned $387,015 over eight seasons. Mister Diz was named for legendary track employee Frank Rosenfeld who was also saddled with the moniker Mister Diz. The flashy chestnut gelding with four high white stockings and a unique blaze won nine stakes races and placed in 16 others. He set new track records at Laurel Park for 7 furlongs and Monmouth Park at one and one eighth miles. [1]
