*Run in two divisions in 1965
The oldest race still run in the Mid-Atlantic states, the Dixie Stakes has been contested, and won, by some of America's most notable horses. A race called the Dixie Handicap, held between 1915 and 1918 at Maryland's Laurel Park, is sometimes considered a version of the Dixie Stakes, although it is not noted as such in the American Racing Manual. A version held between 1902 and 1904 at Benning, Washington D.C. is included in the Manual as part of this race.
1870 - 1888: Held at Pimlico race course, Baltimore, Maryland. Called the Dinner Party Stakes in 1870, and the Reunion Stakes between 1872 and 1888
1902 - 1904: Held at Benning, Washington D.C. for 3 year-olds
