History

The race was inaugurated in 1992[1] as the Rachel Jackson Stakes in honor of Rachel Jackson the wife of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States. Her family moved close to the area where the Kentucky Downs racetrack is located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee.[2]

The event was not run for 2 years and when it resumed in 1998 it was run as the Kentucky Cup Ladies Turf Handicap.[3] The event was renamed to its current name Ladies Turf Stakes in 2011.[3]

In 2017 the event was upgraded to a Grade III.[3]

With the influx of gaming revenue at Kentucky Downs the purse for the event has risen dramatically to nearly $500,000 offered by 2019.[3]
