History

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 a length. 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.

The event was shortened to a mile in 1995[1] and the winner Very Special Lite set a new track record of 1:33.

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.The event's classification was upgraded to Grade III status in 2008.[3]

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.[4]
