The Beholder Mile Stakes is a Grade I American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares aged three and up.
It is run over a distance of one mile on the dirt each year in March at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
The event was inaugurated in 1940 as the Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California over the current distance of one mile.
Her owner William Haggin Perry had the three placegetters in the race which carried a record high stakes amount for the fillies and mares of $79,650.
