The MATRON is a race for two-year-old fillies. Prior to 1902, however, the race was open to both fillies and colts.

The MATRON is the filly counterpart to the Futurity.

The MATRON was run at Morris Park prior to 1905; at Pimlico by special arrangements in 1910; at Aqueduct in 1960 and from 1962 to 1968. Not run from 1895 to 1898, from 1911 to 1913, nor from 1915 to 1922. Run in two divisions one for colts and geldings and one for fillies from 1902 to 1914. Run for fillies exclusively since 1915. Run over a straight course prior to 1959, except for 1941. Run at six furlongs prior to 1972. Run at a distance of seven furlongs from 1972 to 1993. Run at a distance of one mile from 1994 to 2004. In 1947, Bewitch finished first but was disqualified.

In all of the runnings of the Matron since the first two year old filly championship was voted in 1938, there have been 25 Matron winners who have gone on to be voted two year old filly champion.
