The Endeavour Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in February at Tampa Bay Downs racetrack in Oldsmar, Florida. Raced on turf over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles (8.5 furlongs), it is open to fillies and mares, aged four and older.
Inaugurated in 2000 at a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles (9 furlongs), in 2004 the race was modified to its present 1+1⁄16 miles. The race was elevated to Grade III status in 2008.[2] That year's winner, Dreaming of Anna, was the 2006 Eclipse Award Juvenile Filly champion.[3] The 2012 Endeavour winner, Zagora, went on to win the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf and the Eclipse Award in that category.[4] The 2016 winner Tepin was named Champion Grass Mare in both 2015 and 2016 and won the 2015 Breeders' Cup Mile.[5]
