Transylvania Stakes

The Grade III event is the first race of the year in Kentucky for three-year-olds and is contested on turf over a distance of one mile (8 furlongs). The Transylvania Stakes is named for the local Transylvania University and was first run in 1989. It was a listed race until it earned Grade III status in 2003.
