Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Stakes Race History

The Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Stakes is a Grade III horse race run each year at Kentucky Downs. Inaugurated in 1998 as the Kentucky Cup Turf Dash Stakes, the race is contested at 6 furlongs on turf (although it was run at 6 1/2 furlongs between 2014 and 2018).

Bran broke both the speed record and track record in 2022 turning in a time of 1:07.41, dethroning 2021 winner Gear Jockey (1:07.90). Proforma (2018) captured the 6 1/2 furlong record in its final year at that length with a time of 1:15.72. Robby Albarado holds the record for most wins by a jockey with four, winning in 2000, 2001, 2015 and 2016. Trainers Kenneth E. Hoffman, James A. Dodgen, Michael J. Maker and George R. Arnold II are tied with a record two wins each.

As part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In” Series, winners are automatically entered into the Breeders’ Turf Sprint.
