Watch the 2026 Ashland Stakes
History of the Ashland Stakes
The Ashland Stakes is one of the most prestigious races for three year old fillies in the United States. First run in 1936 at Keeneland Race Course, the race quickly became a cornerstone of the spring meet and a proving ground for top young fillies. Named in honor of the historic Ashland estate, the race reflects Kentucky’s deep ties to Thoroughbred breeding and racing tradition.
Over the years, the Ashland Stakes has been contested at a variety of distances and has seen changes in conditions as racing evolved. It is now run at 1 1/16 miles on dirt and holds Grade 1 status, attracting elite competition from leading trainers and jockeys. Its placement during Keeneland’s spring meet makes it a natural gathering point for many of the best fillies in training.
In the modern era, the Ashland Stakes has become a key stop on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks. The race awards qualifying points that help determine the field for the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. Because it is one of the final major prep races, performances in the Ashland often play a decisive role in shaping the Kentucky Oaks field.
The race has produced many outstanding winners who have gone on to achieve success at the highest levels of the sport. For fans and bettors alike, the Ashland Stakes offers a compelling preview of the three year old filly division at its peak, showcasing talent that is ready to compete on racing’s biggest stage.
