Spinaway Stakes

Established in 1881 and hosted annually at Saratoga Race Course, the Spinaway Stakes is a premier Grade I showdown for two-year-old fillies. Run over seven furlongs on dirt, this storied race not only carries deep history—being named after the dominant juvenile mare Spinaway—but also serves as an essential stepping stone as a “Win and You're In” qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Legends who’ve left their mark here include Ruffian, Ashado, Meadow Star, Brightwork, and Echo Zulu—solidifying its role as a launchpad for champions.

Spinaway Stakes Race History

The Spinaway Stakes is a historic Grade I Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Open exclusively to two-year-old fillies, this seven-furlong sprint on dirt was inaugurated in 1881 and has evolved through various distances—from five furlongs in its earliest years to six furlongs through 1993, before settling at its current length of seven furlongs in 1994. The race remains a highlight of Saratoga’s late summer season and plays an important role in the Breeders' Cup Challenge as a "Win and You're In" prep for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Over the years, the Spinaway Stakes has delivered impressive performances and set standout records. The fastest recorded time at the current seven-furlong distance is 1:22.28, clocked by Hot Dixie Chick in 2009. At the previous six-furlong distance, the legendary Ruffian still holds the fastest mark at 1:08.60, set in 1974. Among jockeys, Ángel Cordero Jr. leads with five wins (1977, 1980, 1984, 1987, and 1989), while trainer Todd A. Pletcher has also dominated with a record of seven victories (1999, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2016, and 2025). These benchmarks showcase the Spinaway Stakes’ legacy as a proving ground for elite young fillies and the champions who guide them.
