The Honeybee Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies at a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles on the dirt run annually in March at Oaklawn Park Race Track in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The event currently offers a purse of $300,000.[1]


History

The inaugural running of the event was on 1 April 1988 and was won by the US Hall of Fame trained D. Wayne Lukas and ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey José A. Santos, Lost Kitty who defeated the 1987 US Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Epitome by 4+12 lengths in a time of 1:4345.[2] D. Wayne Lukas continued his streak in this event training the first four winners.

The event was upgraded to Grade III status in 1990.[3] In 2003, it was downgraded to listed status[1] and held this status until 2008 when it was reclassified as Grade III[1]

The 2008 winner Eight Belles won the event as a short 3/5 odds-on favorite.[4] Later that spring Eight Belles would be tragically euthanized after finishing second in the 2008 Kentucky Derby.

The 2020 winner Shedaresthedevil continued her good form to win the Kentucky Oaks.

The event is part of Road to the Kentucky Oaks.
