Fort Harrod Stakes

For the earlier Keeneland race with the same name from 1989 to 1996, see Maker's Mark Mile Stakes.

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 1⅝-mile (13 furlongs) event is contested on Polytrack synthetic dirt and is the longest stakes race run at Keeneland. It offered a purse of $100,000 and is one of the races leading up to the newly created Breeders' Cup Marathon.

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