Kentucky Juvenile Stakes
The Kentucky Juvenile Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in early May at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The event is open to two-year-old horses. Previously a race contested at five and a half furlongs on dirt, it has been run at a distance of five furlongs since 2006. It first became a Grade III race in 1999.
