The Valley View Stakes is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over a distance of 1 mile on the turf held annually in October at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky during the fall meeting.
The event was named in after the Valley View Ferry which connects auto traffic between the county seats of Richmond in Madison County and Nicholasville in Jessamine County and is widely regarded as the Kentucky's oldest continually operating business.
[1] The event was inaugurated on 11 October 1991 and was won by the 31-1 longshot La Gueriere in a time of 1:43.49.
[2] Two weeks later La Gueriere proved that her win was not a fluke by winning the Grade I Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes.
