The Bryan Station Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds over a distance of one mile on the turf held annually in October at Keeneland Race Course, Lexington, Kentucky during the autumn meeting. It currently offers a purse of $600,000.[1]
History
[edit]The Bryan Station Stakes is named after an early fortified settlement known as Bryan Station in Lexington, Kentucky. It was located on present-day Bryan Station Road, about three miles northeast of New Circle Road, on the southern bank of Elkhorn Creek near Briar Hill Road.[2]
The event was inaugurated on 15 April 1993 as a race for fillies and mares that were four-years-old or older over a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles on the dirt track and was won by Peter S. Willmott's Gray Cashmere starting at 6/1 in a time of 1:44.44 flat by 1⁄2 a length.[3] The following year the event was scheduled in the autumn October meeting and held on the turf with conditions of event modified to fillies and mares that were three-years-old or older.[4]
The event was shortened to a mile in 1995[1] and the winner Very Special Lite set a new track record of 1:333⁄5.
In 2002 the conditions of entry into the event were changed to only allow three-year-olds and the event was renamed to the Storm Cat Stakes.[1] Storm Cat was the leading sire in North America in 1999 and 2000.
In 2005 Keeneland reverted the name of event back to the Bryan Station Stakes.[5] The event's classification was upgraded to Grade III status in 2008.[5]
After 2010 the event was only scheduled in 2015 and it lost its classification status.[1]
The event has been regularly scheduled since 2020 and in 2022 the event regained its Grade III status.[6]
