History

Race name

Originally when inaugurated on 20 June 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] In 2008 the Breeders' Cup sponsorship ceased and the name of the race reflected the change. In 2020 the event was run as the Allaire duPont 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 2011 to a Grade III event.[1] In 2023 the event was downgraded to a Listed event.[3]

Distance

From 1992 through 2001, the race was contested at miles and was shortened to miles until 2014.[4] In 2016 the distance was increased back to miles.[4]

Schedule

The inaugural running of the event was run in late June. In 1993 and 1994 the event was scheduled in May.[1] Then it was moved to the Preakness undercard beginning in 1995 and currently it is held on Black-Eyed Susan Stakes day. In 2010 and 2014 the race was put on hiatus.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States the Preakness Carnival was moved to October but this event was not scheduled until late December at Laurel Park.[6]
