Fort Harrod Stakes Explained

The $100,000 Fort Harrod Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in mid April at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky. A Listed Race open to horses age four and older, the race was contested on Polytrack synthetic dirt and was the longest stakes race run at Keeneland, at 13 furlongs . It offered a purse of $100,000 and was one of the races leading up to the Breeders' Cup Marathon.

In 2010, Keeneland did not renew the Fort Harrod Stakes.[1]
