Commonwealth Turf Stakes

The Commonwealth Turf Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds run over a distance of one and one sixteenth miles on turf held annually in November at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky during the fall meeting.

History
The event was inaugurated on 14 November 2004 and was won by the shortest of margins, a nose by the 18-1 outsider in field Broadway View, who was trained by US Hall of Fame trained Nick Zito in a time of 1:44.75.

The American Graded Stakes Committee classified the event as Grade III in 2008.

The event was not scheduled to be run in 2020 and 2021 due to the condition of the turf course.
