The Shakertown Stakes is a Grade III American thoroughbred horse race for horses age three and older over a distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs on the turf held annually in early April at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky during the spring meeting. The event currently carries a purse of $350,000.

History

[edit]

The event was inaugurated as The Mistral Stakes on 18 October 1995 as a three-year-old-only race over a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles.[1] The following year the event was not held but in 1997 was moved to the spring meeting and held at the current distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs.[2]

The event was renamed in 1998 to the Shakertown Stakes to honor Shakertown, a nearby Shaker community that is a United States National Historic Landmark, located about 25 miles from the racetrack.

The event was upgraded to a Grade III in 2003 and in 2016 to a Grade II.[3]

In 2020 Lienster broke the course record held by Perfect Officer since 2012. The time was 1:00.86 for the 5+1⁄2 furlongs sprint.[2]
