$500,000 Falls City (Grade II) 106th Running – Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021 (Fall Meet) Fillies & Mares, 3-Year-Olds & Up at 1 1/8 Miles on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:48.85, Silent Eskimo (1999) Name Origin: The race was created by Churchill Downs founder, Col. M. Lewis Clark, as one of four stakes events that were developed for the inaugural meet in 1875. The name, Falls City, is a reference to the Ohio River falls or rapids that drop some 30 feet just west of current downtown Louisville. The falls are the reason the city grew as riverboats were forced to unload their cargo on shore before reaching the falls. Clark’s original stakes schedule included the Kentucky Derby on Monday, the Kentucky Oaks on Wednesday, the Falls City Handicap on Thursday and the Clark on closing day, Saturday. The race has been run on Thanksgiving Day since 1978. Year (Race No.) Winner (Age/Sex) Jockey (Weight) Second Time (Cond.) Sire Gross Purse-Gr. Dis.
