Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes

The Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes, raced as the AGS Ladies Sprint Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares that are three years old or older, over a distance of $6 1/2$ furlongs on the turf held annually in September at Kentucky Downs racetrack in Franklin, Kentucky during their short turf meeting. The event currently carries a purse of $1,000,000 which includes $400,000 from the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund.

History
The race was inaugurated in 2013 with an attractive purse offered of $150,000.

In 2018 the event was upgraded to a Grade III.

With the influx of gaming revenue at Kentucky Downs the purse for the event has risen dramatically to nearly $500,000 offered by 2019.

In 2023 the American Graded Stakes Committee upgraded the event to Grade II status.
