$200,000 Pocahontas (Grade II) 48th Running – Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016 (September Meet) 2-Year-Old Fillies at 1 1/16 Miles on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:44.38, Untapable (2013) Top Beyer Speed Figure – 101, Unbridled Elaine (2000) Average Winning Beyer Speed Figure (Since 1992) – 85.3 (2,048/24) Road to the Kentucky Oaks Prep Season Top 4 Points: 10-4-2-1 Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Juvenile Fillies Division Name Origin: The race was first held on Thanksgiving Day, 1969, and was fittingly named for Pocahontas, the daughter of Native-American chief Powhatan who aided the early American settlers. Additionally, Pocahontas (1837-70) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse and the dam of three sires who had a great influence on the breed. Thoroughbred Heritage refers to Pocahontas as “one of the most influential Thoroughbreds of all time, male or female.” She produced three great sons – Stockwell, Rataplan, and King Tom – and five influential daughters. Stockwell is the most notable of the three, as he appears in the pedigrees of Phalaris, Nearco, and Native Dancer. She produced a total of 15 foals, the last at the age of 25. It is believed that Pocahontas may have carried the “X-factor,” a genetic mutation responsible for causing an enlarged heart. This is possibly because she had 13 crosses to Eclipse in her pedigree. Many stallions have had multiple crosses to Pocahontas, including: The Tetrarch (7), Man o’ War (9), Precipitation (27), Nearco (37), Raise A Native (175), Northern Dancer (272), Mr. Prospector (353) and Secretariat (249).
