Miss Woodford Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss Woodford Stakes is run each year in August at Monmouth Park Racetrack for Thoroughbred horses. It is open to three-year-old fillies and maress sprinting six furlongs on the dirt.

Added to Monmouth Park's stakes schedule in 1952, the Miss Woodford is named for the great racing mare Miss Woodford of the late Nineteenth century who was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1967. It was at Monmouth in the old Monmouth Oaks that Miss Woodford ran the race that made her the highest earning racehorse of her times.

An ungraded stakes event, it offers a purse of $60,000.
