History
editThe event was named after the official state bird of Kentucky, the Northern cardinal.
The event was inaugurated on 23 November 1974, as the Kentucky Cardinal Stakes as a 1+1⁄16 miles dirt race for three year olds and was won by veterinarian Albert F. Polk Jr's Cut the Talk, who was trained by Ohio native James E. (Jim) Morgan[1] and ridden by Darrell Brown in a time of 1:451⁄5.[2]
The event was run for three year olds only one more time in 1975. In the 1976 the conditions of the event were changed to fillies and mares that were three years old or older at a distance of seven furlongs as the Kentucky Cardinal Handicap.[3] In 1982 the event was increased to 1 mile for one year and in 1983 increased again to back its inaugural running distance of 1+1⁄16 miles.[4] In 1987 the event was scheduled on the turf over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles with the name Cardinal Handicap.[4] The following year the distance of the event increased to 1+1⁄8 miles but it was moved off the turf and onto the main track due to inclement weather.[5]
The American Graded Stakes Committee classified the event as Grade III in 1995.[3] The 2017 edition of the race, won by Tricky Escape, was run on dirt as the turf course was deemed unfit for racing. The race's Grade III status was kept for 2017.[6]
The event has been run in split divisions nine times, the last of which was in 1990.[7]
The event was run as a handicap prior to 2019.[8]
The event was not run in 2020 and 2021.
