Historical notes
Alcibiades, Hal Price Headley's 1929 American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly won the July 5, 1930 inaugural running of the Arlington Oaks. She would end the year being selected the Three-Year-Old Champion Filly. The Grade 1 Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland is named in her honor.[1]
Canfli won the second edition of the Oaks for the stable of W. D. Waggoner and brothers from Texas. The New York Times reported that 25,000 racing patrons were on hand to see the 1931 race.[2][3]
The Sonny Whitney owned 1932 Oaks winner Top Flight would also be named the Two and Three-Year-Old Filly Champion plus future induction into the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame.[4]
In 2001, a year the race was run as the Singapore Plate, Caressing was the winner, following up on her 2000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies victory that had clinched Two-Year-Old National Champion Filly honors for her.
In 2005, film director John Gatins made a motion picture titled Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story in which the horse "Soñador" is based on 1994 Arlington Oaks winner, Mariah's Storm.
