2010 Breeders' Cup Races
The Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic (Formerly Breeders' Cup Distaff)
Distance: 1 1/8 Miles
Age: (G1) Fillies & Mares 3 Year Olds & Up
Sex: Female
Purse: $2 Million
The Breeders' Cup Distaff has produced three of the seven highest-priced winners in the Breeders' Cup event's history to date. This $2 million race for fillies and mares has actually been among the most consistent and predictable of the original seven Breeders' Cup races (not counting the Filly & Mare Turf, which begun in 1999).
That record of consistency can be traced back as early as to the inaugural Breeders' Cup Distaff in 1984 at Hollywood Park. Princess Rooney, winner of the Vanity Handicap (G1) and Spinster Stakes (G1) in prior starts, went off as the 7-to-10 favorite and rolled to a seven-length victory.
