The Kentucky Cup Sprint Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 1994 at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky. Contested over a distance of six furlongs on Polytrack synthetic dirt, the Grade III event is open to three-year-old horses.
Contested in late September, previous winners Reraise and Cajun Beat went on to win the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
With the support of WinStar Farm, this race which was suspended in 2010 due to economic challenges, will return in 2011.
