Shuvee Stakes

The race was named after the great U.S. Racing Hall of Fame filly, Shuvee, winner of the 1969 Fillies Triple Crown. The inaugural running of the event was on 16 May 1976 at Belmont Park as the Shuvee Handicap as a one-mile event. The winner Proud Delta made an immediate impact for the event as she continued her winning ways to be crowned US Champion Older Dirt Female Horse. The following year the distance for the event was increased to miles and for the third running in 1978 the event was classified as a Grade II. The event was upgraded to Grade I in 1986, ==Records==
