Especially well known are the three classic races for three-year-olds in the United States, known collectively as the Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky; the Preakness Stakes, at Pimlico, near Baltimore, Maryland; and the Belmont Stakes, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, near New York City.
Stakes races usually involve horses of the same age and sex, all of which are initially assigned the same weight.
Stakes races derive their name from the stake, or entry fee, owners must pay.

 Ornament
She foaled four stakes winners, including the On Watch filly War Plumage, who became champion three-year-old filly in the United States in 1939, when she captured the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Alabama Stakes.
She ran fourth to Ard Patrick in the Derby Stakes, but easily came back the next day to win the Oaks, and in the fall soundly defeated the colts in the St. Leger, thereby becoming the only horse in history to win four English classics.
Retired from the turf in 1904, she was sent to the stud in 1905; in her long career at stud she produced eight foals, all but one of them fillies, and except for her first foal, the filly Maid of the Mist (1906, by Cyllene) her success as a broodmare could be considered a failure.

The $500,000, Group I, Vinery Thousand Guineas (1600m) is the feature of the Melbourne Racing Club's second race day of their 2006 Spring Racing Carnival on Wednesday at Caulfield.
Also counting against a stable win is that only one Flight Stakes winner in the last 15 years has gone onto to claim the Thousand Guineas, which was the Bart Cummings trained Dashing Eagle in1996.
Miss Finland and Craig Williams have barrier nine so they should be able to watch the speed go on from the inside and watch proceedings, but it remains to be seen if her front running effort in the Edward Manifold for second has unsettled her for Wednesday.

Finally there is stakes placed Thong and it is she who has made the most commercial contribution to the Nantallah-*Rough Shod II cross.
She then produced a colt named Riot who was stakes placed but who was obviously of no use to the family line and a filly named Candy Maid by Exclusive Native, a sire who did not fit her.

On the face of it he features too low in the table to have the stamina for the Guineas, but his dam sire is Belmez who, although not a chef-de-race, could be the source of sufficient staying power for Killybegs to have some chance.
He has good chances of getting the Guineas trip, the key to his chance lying in his dam side exposure to the Shirley Heights-Darshaan line through Mark Of Esteem, but like his July Cup-winning sire, Mozart, if not quite making a mile his best trip, looks set to star at distances up to a mile.
His dam sire is Sadler’s Wells and his dam was the winner of the Oaks and Irish 1,000 Guineas and is half-sister to several winners, including Generous.

While she turned in a big effort to win at Broadmeadow, her win in the Flight was devastating, running away with a seven-length margin which could have been further had she not been eased down.
She returned in the autumn to win the Surround Stakes before finishing sixth in the Coolmore Classic, runner-up in the Arrowfield Stud Stakes and sixth in the AJC Oaks behind Dizelle.

 Guineas a battle of the sexes - Horse Racing - www.theage.com.au
Unbeaten in four runs, Lotteria won last Saturday's group 1 Flight Stakes (1600 metres) for three-year-old fillies by seven lengths at Randwick and her surprise inclusion in the Caulfield Guineas (1600 metres) had bookmakers reacting swiftly by installing her as favourite.
Waterhouse admitted she was taking a gamble by racing Lotteria against the colts and geldings when the fillies' classic - the $500,000 Thousand Guineas - is run at Caulfield over the same distance only four days later.
Surround, in 1976, was the most recent filly to win a Caulfield Guineas, but even the name of that former champion, who also won a Cox Plate that same season, did not deter Waterhouse.
