PLEASE NOTE! Due to the number of entries to the WORK OF ART STAKES, and the fact that it was split almost perfectly males to females, I decided to create a female version of the stakes rather than have eliminations. Both fields were still stellar and definately not give aways. Also to note, Perious Game was Foxhaven's founding broodmare. She never raced herself, but she produced winners with every foal. She was the first dam to be bred to Work of Art and so it is most fitting that she has her own stakes now, to be run every years henceforth.
