Woodlawn Stakes
Encyclopedia
The James W. Murphy Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race
run annually at Pimlico Race Course
in Baltimore, Maryland. Open to three-year-old horses, it is contested over a distance of one mile on turf
.
Beginning with the 2010 race, the Woodlawn Stakes was renamed the James W. Murphy Stakes in honor of the late trainer, James W. Murphy, a stalwart on the Maryland racing circuit. The race is run on the third Saturday of May on the Preakness Stakes
undercard. The race is named in honor of the "Most Valuable Trophy in Sports," the Woodlawn Vase
. Due to heavy rains, the 2008 edition had to be switched from the turf to 1 1/16 miles on the muddy main track.
The race attracts a different type of horse than the older Dixie Stakes, also run on the turf at Pimlico on that same day. First and most importantly the Woodlawn is run at one mile which is considered a sprint on the turf while the Dixie is run at 1-1/8 miles. Horses from the Wodolawn will typically be candidates for the Breeders' Cup Mile
later in the year while Dixie Stakes horse will typicall target the Breeders' Cup Turf
. The Woodlawn is also restricted to only horses that are three years old while the Dixie is for any horse three years-old and up.
