The Valley View Stakes is named for Kentucky’s oldest recorded commercial business, the Valley View Ferry. In operation since 1785, the ferry crosses the Kentucky River to connect Fayette and Madison counties. Rubicon, a Lexingtonbased software company known as “America’s technology company” that provides smart waste and recycling solutions to businesses and governments worldwide, began to sponsor the Valley View in 2021.
