• Washington,_D.C._International_Stakes abstract "The Washington, D.C. International was an American Grade I invitational horse race. Inaugurated in 1952, it was raced on turf in Laurel, Maryland at a distance of 1½ miles (12 furlongs) and attracted the best horses in North America and Europe. It was held annually until 1994, when it could no longer compete with the Breeders' Cup Turf. When it was founded by John D. Schapiro (owner of the Laurel Park Racecourse), it was the only international horse race in the United States. The International burst onto the racing scene and became a worldwide event. Until then, bringing horses from Europe and elsewhere to the United States for a specific race was unprecedented. J. Samuel Pearlman, editor of the Daily Racing Form, discussed the idea with Schapiro after the 1950 racing season. Less than a year and half later, the concept became a reality.Usually just called the "International," the race drew the best Thoroughbreds from the U.S. and Europe; it was important enough to attract horses from the Soviet Union during the 1960s, despite the Cold War. In the 1980s the Washington, D.C. International was part of a million-dollar bonus given to any horse who won it, the Canadian International Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto and the Turf Classic at Belmont Park in New York. Few American horses excelled on the turf; some were turf specialists, while others built their race records on the dirt and then specifically switched over to the turf for the "International". U.S. Hall of Famer Kelso repeatedly won Horse of the Year honors on the dirt in the early 1960s and finished second three times in a row in the International. In 1964, the great gelding finally won the race in an American record time of 2:23.80. He had given the event international status in Europe by just missing three times, before winning it at age seven.The Washington, D.C. International Stakes was raced at a distance of 1½ miles from its inception in 1952 until 1986, when it was shortened to 1¼ miles. With the exception of 1993 (when it was raced at one mile), the International remained at 1¼ miles until its final running in 1994.Run the Gantlet won the International in 1971; his son Providential won it in 1981. Providential was bred and previously owned by Bertram R. Firestone, whose wife Diana won the race the following year with her filly April Run after coming in second to Providential in 1981.During its run, the D.C. International Stakes was won by horses from the United States 22 times and by foreign representatives 21 times.".
