Matron
116 Running on Sunday, October 08, 2023
The Matron is amongst the oldest and most historic races for juvenile fillies in the United States. Inaugurate in 1892, the prestigious event was initially open to both males and females up until 1901. The following year, the Matron was run in two divisions: one for males and one for fillies until 1914. From 1915-2017, it was strictly contested for fillies on dirt and moved to the turf in 2018. Future Hall of Famers Maskette [1908], Top Flight [1931], Busher [1944], Bed o’ Roses [1949], Cicada [1961], Gallant Bloom [1968], La Prevoyante [1972] and Sky Beauty [1992] added the Matron to their resumes during their respective 2-year-old seasons.
