The Dogwood Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies run over a distance of seven furlongs held annually in September at Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky.

History

[edit]

The event was inaugurated on 8 June 1975 and was won by the favorite My Juliet who would later the following year win Eclipse Award for Outstanding Sprint Horse.[1]

The event is named after a hardy, blooming tree known as the Dogwood, that adds so much beauty to the spring landscape in Kentucky.[2]

The Dogwood Stakes was run in two divisions in 1981.[3]

The event was upgraded to Grade III in 1998.[4] However, the event lost this classification for the 2016 running and was a Listed event.[4] The event regained its Grade III status in 2020.[5] The 2019 winner Covfefe, would later win the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint and become champion female sprinter and champion 3-year-old filly.[6]
