Bourbon Stakes Race History
The Bourbon Stakes is a Grade II horse race run annually at Keeneland Race Course in Kentucky. Inaugurated as the Hopemont Stakes, the race was renamed as the Bourbon County Stakes to honor the area near Lexington famous for its Throroughbred farms. In 2008, it was renamed again to the Bourbon Stakes to coincide with a sponsorship with Woodford Reserve. Although they are no longer the race sponsor, the name remains.
Currently, Julien Leparoux holds the record for most wins by a jockey with his four victories. Todd Pletcher and Mark E. Casse share the record for most wins by a trainer with five career wins each.
The race also acts as a qualifier for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf as part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.
