Shakertown Stakes (G2) 26th Running • Spring • 5 1/2 furlongs (turf) • 3-year-olds and up Shakertown, located 25 miles southwest of Lexington, is America’s largest and most completely restored Shaker community and living museum. A national historic landmark, Shakertown also is known as Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill.
Through 2016, Keeneland maintained separate course records for the Keeneland Course and the Haggin Course depending on the setting of a temporary rail. Beginning in 2017, Keeneland consolidated the course records into one set based solely on distance, not rail settings. (See page 218.)
Keeneland sales graduate Bound for Nowhere became a twotime winner of the Shakertown (G2) when he caught 2019 winner Imprimis at the wire to win by a nose.
