Shakertown Stakes

The event was inaugurated as The Mistral Stakes on 18 October 1995 as a three-year-old-only race over a distance of miles. 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. In 2020 Lienster broke the course record held by Perfect Officer since 2012. The time was 1:00.86 for the furlongs sprint. ==Records==
