The Shakertown Stakes is a Grade III American thoroughbred horse race for horses age three and older over a distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs on the turf held annually in early April at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky during the spring meeting.

History

The event was inaugurated as The Mistral Stakes on 18 October 1995 as a three year old only race over a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles.[1] The following year the event was not held but in 1997 was moved to the spring meeting and held at the current distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs.[2]

The event was renamed in 1998 to the Shakertown Stakes to honor Shakertown, a nearby Shaker community that is a United States National Historic Landmark, located about 25 miles from the racetrack.

The event was upgraded to a Grade III in 2003 and in 2016 to a Grade II.[3]

In 2020 Lienster broke the course record held by Perfect Officer since 2012. The time was 1:00.86 for the 5+1⁄2 furlongs sprint.[2]
