Lexington Stakes (G3) 36th Running • Spring • 1 1/16 miles • 3-year-olds The Lexington first was contested by 2-year-olds during Keeneland’s inaugural meeting in 1936. The race was run as an overnight handicap for 3-year-olds and older horses from 1938-1941. It returned to the stakes schedule in 1984 when of- ficials elevated the Calumet Purse — an important allowance race for 3-year-olds — to an added-money event and renamed it the Lexington Stakes.
