The event currently carries a purse of $200,000.

History

[edit]

The race was named after the great U.S. Racing Hall of Fame filly, Shuvee, winner of the 1969 Fillies Triple Crown.[1]

The inaugural running of the event was on 16 May 1976 at Belmont Park as the Shuvee Handicap as a one-mile event. The winner Proud Delta made an immediate impact for the event as she continued her winning ways to be crowned US Champion Older Dirt Female Horse.[2]

The following year the distance for the event was increased to 1+1⁄16 miles[3] and for the third running in 1978 the event was classified as a Grade II.[4]

The event was upgraded to Grade I in 1986,[3] the year Lady's Secret won the event en route to a Breeders' Cup Distaff victory at Santa Anita Park and U.S. Horse of the Year honors.

In 1995 the distance for the event reverted to its original one mile.[4]

In 1997 the event was downgraded to Grade II[3] and in 2012 the event was not held.[4] NYRA moved the event to Saratoga for 2013 as they expanded the number of racing dates at that track. The event was downgraded to Grade III for its first running at the new track and the event holds this classification to date. Also that year the distance was increased to a mile-and-an-eighth.[4]

Other notable mares to have won this race are 1995 winner Inside Information who won the event as the Shug McGaughey trained entry with Regal Solution defeating the short favorite and 1994 winner Sky Beauty and US Champion Older Dirt Female Horse. Later that year Inside Information would win the Breeders' Cup Distaff and be crowned US Champion Older Dirt Female Horse. The 1997 winner Hidden Lake would also later that year be voted US Champion Older Dirt Female Horse. Stopchargingmaria, in 2015, was the last Shuvee winner to go on to win the Breeders' Cup Distaff.

In 2022, the American Graded Stakes Committee upgraded the event back to Grade II.[5]
