The Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually during the last week of November at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
Inaugurated in 1920,[1] the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes was contested at a distance of one mile from its inception through 1979.
Prior winners were Cannonade (1974), Twenty Grand (1931), Clyde Van Dusen (1929) and Reigh Count (1928).
In 1930, Twenty Grand won the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes in a track record time of 1:36 flat which at the time was the fastest mile ever run by a two-year-old in the United States.
[3] In 1933, Mata Hari became the first filly to win the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes.
