The PRIORESS was named for the first American Thoroughbred ever to win in England. Prioress was bought by Ten Braek from General Wells as a three year old in 1857 for $2,500. She was then sent to England where she won both the Great Yorkshire Stakes and the Cesare Witch Handicap in 1858. In the latter, Prioress finished in a triple dead heat with El Hakim and Queen Bess; she then won the run off. The PRIORESS was run at Jamaica prior to 1960. Run in two divisions in 1951 and 1958. In 1966, Priceless Gem finished first but was disqualified and placed last. Run at Aqueduct from 1960 to 1986.
