The Raven Run Stakes is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over a distance of seven furlongs on the dirt held annually in October at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky during the fall meeting.

History

[edit]

This race is named for the 374-acre (1.51 km2) nature sanctuary outside Lexington, Kentucky.[1]

The event was inaugurated on 13 October 1999 and was won Dreamy Maiden who was ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day to a neck victory after losing the lead in the straight in a time of 1:22.64.[2]

From 1999 to 2001 the event was classified as Listed and in 2002 the event was upgraded to Grade III.[3] In 2004 the event was upgraded to Grade II.[4]

In 2008, Informed Decision set a new track record of 1:20.86 on the polytrack surface.[5] The following year she captured the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint and was voted US Champion Female Sprint Horse.
