Lexington, Kentucky, United States
The Valley View Stakes is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over a distance of 1 mile on the turf held annually in October at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky during the fall meeting.
History
The event was named in after the Valley View Ferry which connects auto traffic between the county seats of Richmond in Madison County and Nicholasville in Jessamine County and is widely regarded as the Kentucky's oldest continually operating business.
The event was inaugurated on 11 October 1991 and was won by the 31-1 longshot La Gueriere in a time of 1:43.49.
From 1994 to 1998 the event was classified as Listed and in 1999 the event was upgraded to Grade III.
The race was split into two divisions in 2009 and 2012.
In 2006 due to inclement weather the event was moved to the synthetic track and in 2015 also the event was moved off the turf to the dirt track.
In 2023 the distance of the event was decreased from miles to one mile.
In 2024 the event was upgraded to Grade II by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.{{cite web|url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/273982/graded-stakes-committee-cuts-number-of-graded-stakes |title= Graded Stakes Committee Cuts Number of Graded Stakes; One race was elevated to a grade 1: the Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs. |date=16 December 2023 |access-date=12 April 2024 |work=Bloodhorse.com |publisher=Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association}}
