History

[edit]

The Aristides Stakes is named in honor of the racehorse Aristides who won the inaugural Kentucky Derby in 1875 on the Churchill Downs track.

The race itself was inaugurated in 1989 and run at a distance of 6+12 furlongs.[1]

Bet on Sunshine, the only two-time winner in the race's history, set a new track record of 1:15.11 for 6+12 furlongs in 2000 then in 2001 beat his own record with a time of 1:14.79. At its current six-furlong distance, Kelly's Landing ran the fastest six furlongs in Churchill Downs history when he won the 2005 edition in a time of 1:07.59.[2][1]
