The **Spiral Stakes** (known as the **Jeff Ruby Steaks,** a [homophone](/source/Homophone) of the word **Stakes,** for commercial reasons) [1] is a [Grade III](/source/Graded_stakes_race) [American](/source/United_States) [thoroughbred horse race](/source/Thoroughbred_horse_race) for three-year-olds at a distance of a one and one-eighth miles on the synthetic track in late March at [Turfway Park](/source/Turfway_Park) in [Florence, Kentucky](/source/Florence,_Kentucky). The event is part of the [Road to the Kentucky Derby](/source/Road_to_the_Kentucky_Derby) and offers a purse of $777,000.[2]

## History

The event was inaugurated on 1 April 1972 as the **Latonia Spiral Stakes** over a distance of one mile, established by the General Manager of the Latonia race track John Battaglia for horses "spiraling up" to the [Kentucky Derby](/source/Kentucky_Derby).[3]

The race in its infancy attracted many entries and the administration of the track decided to run the event in two divisions in the following years: 1973, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1978, and 1980.[4]

In 1982, [bourbon whiskey](/source/Bourbon_whiskey) maker [Jim Beam](/source/Jim_Beam) acquired naming rights sponsorship and the race was renamed the **Jim Beam Spiral Stakes**. That year the distance of event was increased to 1 1⁄16 miles.[5] Two years later the event was named the **Jim Beam Stakes**. The sponsorship deal lasted for 17 years, and the event attracted many of the prominent three-year-olds during that time.[3]

In 1984, the event was upgraded to [Grade III](/source/Graded_stakes_race) status.[5] In 1988, two years after the track changed owners and was renamed Turfway Park, it was upgraded to a Grade II race and was lengthened to 1 1⁄8 miles.[5]

In 1999 the race was sponsored for one year by [Jim McIngvale](/source/Jim_McIngvale) of the Gallery Furniture chain of retail stores, and was run as the **Galleryfurniture.com Stakes**.[5] In 2003, [Lane's End Farm](/source/Lane's_End_Farm) took over sponsorship of the event for eight years.[5]

In 2006, the race was run for the first time over an [all-weather surface](/source/Track_surface#Synthetic_surfaces).[5] It was downgraded back to Grade III status in 2011.[6]

Vinery Racing sponsored the Spiral Stakes in 2011 and 2012.[5] In 2013, [Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati](/source/Hard_Rock_Casino_Cincinnati) became the sponsor of the race for five years.[5] As of 2018 the race is sponsored by [Jeff Ruby](/source/Jeff_Ruby) Culinary Entertainment, owner of Jeff Ruby's Steakhouses. As part of the sponsorship, the race is referred to as the Jeff Ruby Steaks (similar to other sporting events named for a product).[1]

In 1991 [Hansel](/source/Hansel_(horse)) set a track and stakes record while winning the Jim Beam Stakes on his way to winning champion three-year-old honors, while [Serena's Song](/source/Serena's_Song_(horse)) became the first [filly](/source/Filly) to win the race in 1995. Winners who would go on to capture at least one of the [American Classic Races](/source/American_Classic_Races) include [Summer Squall](/source/Summer_Squall) (1990),[7] [Lil E. Tee](/source/Lil_E._Tee) (1992),[8] [Prairie Bayou](/source/Prairie_Bayou) (1993),[9] and [Animal Kingdom](/source/Animal_Kingdom_(horse)) (2011).[10]
