Gallorette Stakes

The Gallorette Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares age three and older over a distance of miles (8.5 furlongs) on the turf, run annually on Preakness Day at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The event offers a purse of $150,000 added.

History The race was first carded in its inaugural running in 1952. It became graded for the first time in 1973.2007 Maryland Jockey Club Media Guide, page 57 on March 3, 2007.

The race is part of a series of stakes races named for famous Marylanders, in this case: Gallorette, one of the great racing fillies in American history. Named for Mrs. M. A. Moore's 1946 and 1947 Champion Handicap Female. Gallorete was famous for beating the males of her day in a number of races. Gallorette also won the 1945 Pimlico Oaks (the sister race to the Preakness Stakes) which was renamed later to the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes. Gallorette's own daughter, Mlle. Lorette, won this race in 1954.2007 Maryland Jockey Club Media Guide, page 57 on March 3, 2007.

The Gallorette Handicap's stakes record is 1:39.73 held by Miz Money who won the race in 2016.

The Gallorette was run on dirt between 1952-through-1972, in 1979 and 1980, 1984, 1986 and 1987 as well as 1995 and 1996.
