Beverly D. Stakes Preview

The race typically attracts star fillies and mares in training. This year’s race will be no different. However, the declarations for the famous Grade 1 will not be made until the first week in August. Below, you will find some of the most recent winners of the Beverly D. Stakes.

• Sistercharlie (2019, 2018)

• Dacita (2017)

• Sea Calisi (2016)

• Watsdachances (2015)

• Euro Charlie (2014)

The race wasn’t run in 2020, which means there will be even more intrigue centered around the running in 2021. Trainer Chad Brown has an exceptional recent record in the race, as he has won the last five renewals. Sistercharlie became the only horse to successfully regain the Beverly D. Stakes in 2019 after winning for the first time in 2018. A third effort could be on the cards this season, as she is still in training after finishing sixth in the Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

Unlike many other races that are open to horses aged three and older, there isn’t a successful typical age of winners of this race. Four four-year-olds have won the race since 2010, while four five-year-olds and one three-year-old have also claimed success. However, Euro Charlie was the only three-year-old to have won the race.

The Beverly D. Stakes is a race that typically attracts international competitions. Five of the winners since 2011 have been bred outside of the United States. Two British-trained horses have won the race, with Euro Charlie for trainer Marco Botti being the most recent of those. Two Irish-bred horses have won the race, which includes I’m A Dreamer in 2012, who won for trainer David Simcock and was ridden to success by Hayley Turner.

The path to the Beverly D. Stakes is also compelling. Sistercharlie’s first success and Dacita both saw the fillies win the Grade 1 Diana Stakes before lining up for the Grade 1 at Arlington Park. A graded win before lining up for the Beverly D. Stakes is also essential, as all the previous winners found above have won at least a Grade 3 before claiming success in the Grade 1 at Arlington.
