The Davona Dale Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies, contested over one mile on the dirt at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Named for the Hall of Fame filly Davona Dale, the race is part of Gulfstream’s late-February stakes schedule and often serves as an early stop on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks.
The 2026 Davona Dale Stakes is scheduled for February 28 at Gulfstream Park as part of its Championship Meet.
Past editions have featured top three-year-old fillies, such as Cash Run, Sis City, and R Heat Lightning. They often point toward longer distaff stakes later in the spring season, making this race an important early graded test for future Oaks contenders.
