The Doubledogdare Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares that are four years old or older, over a distance of a mile and a sixteenth on the dirt held annually in April at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky. The event currently carries a purse of $300,000.
The race was named for Doubledogdare, the filly who gave Claiborne Farm their first major stakes win at Keeneland in the 1955 Alcibiades Stakes.[1] Doubledogdare went on to be voted that year's American Co-Champion Two-Year-Old Filly and returned to Keeneland in 1956 to win the Spinster Stakes and would earn American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors.[1]
The inaugural running of the event was on 28 October 1992 as a seven furlong event with Jeano the second favorite defeating the favorite Erica's Dream winning by a nose in a time of 1:22.61. Jeano was victorious once again in 1994 to become the races only two-time winner.[2]
In 1995 the event was not scheduled and in 1996 the event was to be held during the Spring meeting but was cancelled after it failed to draw enough entries.[3]
In 1997 the event was scheduled again for the spring meeting held in April, but was run on turf at a distance of five and a half furlongs.[2] The winner Singing Heart set a new Keeneland course record of 1:02.40.[4]
The following year the event was moved back to the dirt track and was run over a distance of mile and a sixteenth.[5]
In 2007 the event was upgraded to Grade III status and that year the event was run on the synthetic Polytrack surface.[5] In 2015 Keeneland reverted to a dirt surface.[5]
The event was not held 2020 during Keeneland's spring meeting which was moved to July and shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[6]
The 1999 U.S. Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Silverbulletday began her four-year-old campaign in this event. The event attracted only five entrants with two scratching before the start of the race. Silverbulletday started an overwhelming 3-10 odds-on favorite in the three horse race narrowly defeating Roza Robata by a neck.
