Beverly D. Stakes Race History

The Beverly D. Stakes is a Grade I thoroughbred horse race run at Churchill Downs in Kentucky. Inaugurated in 1987, the race was previously held at Arlington Park in support of the Arlington Million race program before its closure in 2021. When Churchill Downs Inc. (who previously owned Arlington Park) announced the race would be moving, they also shortened the race from 1 3/16th miles to 1 1/8th miles.

The Beverly D. Stakes is well known for attracting the best female turf runners in the country. Several past winners went on to be crowned American Champion, including Flawlessly (1993),  Hatoof (1994), Possibly Perfect (1995), Golden Apples (2002), Stacelita (2011), Dank (2013), and Sistercharlie (2018 & 2019).

Kent Desormeaux holds the record for most wins by a jockey with 3 (1992, 2008, 2009), while trainer Chad Brown has notched a record 6 wins of his own (2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019).

As part of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series, the winner automatically qualifies for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
