140 Running on Saturday, August 15, 2020
The prestigious stakes race for 3-year-old fillies is one of the oldest races for females in the United States, with its first edition taking place in 1872 in a race won by August Belmont's Woodbine. The race was not precisely named in honor of the great state of Alabama; rather, it was named after William Cottrell of Mobile, Ala., who was too modest to have a race named for him personally and requested it be named after his home state. Cottrell, who came to the United States from England during the 1840’s, was an owner and breeder whose Ascension finished 10th in the inaugural Kentucky Derby in 1875 and whose Buchanan won the “Run for the Roses” in 1884. The Alabama has been run at various distances, and was not run in the following years: 1893-96, 1898-1900, and 1911-12.
