The Flower Bowl Stakes is a Grade I American thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares aged four years old and older over a distance of 1+3⁄8 miles on the turf held annually in early September at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.

History[]

It had originally been run at Belmont Park from its inception in 1978 until 2020.[2]

The race is part of the Breeders Cup Challenge series. The winner of the Flower Bowl automatically qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.[3]

In 1987, the race was switched from turf to dirt due to heavy rain.

The race was named for Flower Bowl, a winner of the Ladies Handicap at Belmont Park and an outstanding broodmare.
