What is the Jenny Wiley Stakes?
The Jenny Wiley Stakes is a Grade I Thoroughbred race held annually at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky. Run at 1 1/16 miles on the turf for fillies and mares aged four and older, it is one of the premier events for female turf horses in North America each spring. Named after Jenny Wiley, the legendary Kentucky pioneer who survived capture by Native Americans in 1789, the race was inaugurated in 1989 and elevated to Grade I status in 2012.
When is the Jenny Wiley Stakes in 2026?
The 2026 Jenny Wiley Stakes is scheduled for Saturday, April 11 at Keeneland. With a purse of $650,000, it is one of the richest turf races for fillies and mares in the country in the spring and consistently draws elite competition from North America and internationally. Trainer Chad Brown has dominated the race in recent years, winning it seven times overall including four consecutive editions from 2018 through 2022 with the exception of 2021.
Jenny Wiley Stakes History & Notable Winners
The Jenny Wiley Stakes has produced a remarkable roll of honor since earning Grade I status in 2012. Chad Brown's Rushing Fall won consecutive editions in 2019 and 2020, setting the race record of 1:39.02 in the latter. Regal Glory, one of the top turf mares in the country, captured the 2022 running under Jose Ortiz, while In Italian dominated gate-to-wire in 2023 under Irad Ortiz Jr. in a stakes-record time of 1:39.71. The 2025 edition produced one of the most memorable renewals in recent memory when British-trained Choisya (GB) made her North American debut a winning one, surviving a stewards' inquiry to claim victory under Luis Saez.
