History

The Davona Dale is named after Calumet Farm's champion homebred filly foaled in 1976. She not only won the Grade I Kentucky Oaks as a 3-year-old, but then swept the New York Triple Tiara series: the Acorn Stakes, the Mother Goose Stakes, and the Coaching Club American Oaks. She is the only filly to win the Kentucky Oaks, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and the Triple Tiara. Davona Dale was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1985. She also ranks #90 in Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century.[1]

The event was inaugurated on 5 March 1988 and was run in split divisions over a distance of 7 furlongs for four year old fillies and mares.[2]

In 1990 the conditions of the event was limited to three year old fillies.[3]

In 1991 the distance of the event was increased to one mile and seventy yards.[4]

The event was upgraded to Grade III in 1993[3] and upgraded once more to Grade II in 1998.[4]

The Davona Dale has been run at a variety of distances with the current distance of one mile set in 2015.[4]
