Open only to two-year-old Thoroughbred fillies, it's set at a distance of 1 1⁄16 miles on the dirt. The race was upgraded from a Grade III race to a Grade II race in 2010 by the American Graded Stakes Committee.The race was first held on Thanksgiving Day in 1969 and was fittingly named for Pocahontas, the daughter of Native-American chief Powhatan, who aided the early American settlers. The stakes race itself remained as a Thanksgiving Day event until 1982 when it was moved to the early weeks of the Fall Meet. That new scheduling allowed the Pocahontas to become a major prep for the more prestigious Golden Rod Stakes.The distance of the race originated at 7 furlongs and was run at that distance for the first 13 years from 1969-1981. The distance was changed to one mile beginning in 1982 and has continued at that distance through 2010. In 2013 it was run at 1 1⁄16 miles."@en }
