History

Race name

Originally when inaugurated in 1992 the event was known as the Pimlico Distaff Handicap.[1] In 2002 the event was renamed to the Pimlico Breeders' Cup Distaff Handicap and again renamed in 2006 in honor of the late Maryland horsewoman and owner of the great Kelso, Allaire duPont to the Allaire duPont Breeders' Cup Distaff Stakes.[1]

Grade

The race was first awarded graded status in 1994 and then the race was upgraded from a Grade III to a Grade II event in 2007.[2] The race was downgraded in 2015 to a Grade III event.

Distance

From 1992 through 2001, the race was contested at ​1 1⁄8 miles and was shortened to ​1 1⁄16 miles until 2014.

Schedule

The race was run in late June for its first three years. Then it was moved to the Preakness undercard beginning in 1995 [2] and currently it is held on Black-Eyed Susan Stakes day. In 2010 and 2014 the race was put on hiatus.[3]
