Shuvee Stakes
The Shuvee Stakes is an American race Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Run in July, it is open to fillies and mares, age three and up, who are willing to race one mile on the dirt. The race is a Grade III event and it currently offers a purse of $200,000. The Shuvee is one of the first prep races for the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
Inaugurated in 1976 as a one-mile race, it was run at a mile-and-a-sixteenth from 1977 to 1992, and again in 1994. In 1995 the distance reverted to its original one mile. In 2013, however, the distance was upped to a mile-and-an-eighth.
Originally the event was run at Belmont Park but since 2013 has been held at Saratoga Race Course.
The race was named after the great U.S. Racing Hall of Fame filly, Shuvee, winner of the 1969 Fillies Triple Crown.Records
