The Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares aged four and older over a distance of one mile on the turf held annually in early May on the Kentucky Derby day meeting at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky during the spring meeting.

History

This race was inaugurated on 7 May 1983 as the Twin Spires Stakes with conditions for three year olds only over a distance of <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄8 miles on the dirt.[1] The event was won by Le Cou Cou after he was declared the winner after racing stewards disqualified High Honors who lugged in the straight and interfered with Le Cou Cou.[1]

The event was idle for three years and was renewed in 1987 at a shorter distance of <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄16 miles.[2] The event was renamed Capital Holding Twin Spires Stakes in 1988 the first on many name changes and was run again with that name in 1989.[2]

In 1990, the event was moved to turf and conditions were modified to the current fillies and mares aged three and older.[3]

The event was classified as Grade III in 1997.[3] The American Graded Stakes Committee upgraded the race to its current Grade II status in 2009.[2] In 2009, this race was upgraded from a Grade III to a Grade II event.[4]

The event has had many different sponsors which have been reflected in the name of the event. In 2000, Churchill Downs administration renamed the event to the current Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes while still accepting sponsorship.[2] With added high-profile sponsorship the event has attracted high quality runners in recent years. Tepin, dual winner of the event in 2015 and 2016 won the 2015 Breeders' Cup Mile and in 2016 the prestigious Canadian Grade I Woodbine Mile was crowned US Champion Female Turf Horse in both years.
