The '''Spinster Stakes''' (also known as the "Juddmonte Spinster" with [[Juddmonte Farms]] sponsorship) is an American [[Thoroughbred horse race]] for [[Filly|fillies]] and [[Mare (horse)|mare]]s aged three or up run annually in early October at [[Keeneland|Keeneland Racecourse]] in [[Lexington, Kentucky]]. It is set at a distance of one and one-eighth miles and is a [[Conditions races|Grade I]] event with a current purse of $500600,000.

The Spinster, sponsored by [[Prince Khalid Abdullah]]'s [[Juddmonte Farms]] beginning in 2005, is a major prep for the [[Breeders' Cup Distaff]] and one of the most important weight-for-age stakes races exclusively for [[Filly|fillies]] and [[Mare (horse)|mares]]. Now part of the '''Breeders' Cup Challenge series''', the winner of the 2008 FrizetteSpinster Stakes automatically qualifies for the [[Breeders' Cup Ladies' ClassicDistaff]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx |title=Breeders' Cup Challenge |access-date=2008-08-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913093126/http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx |archive-date=2008-09-13 }}</ref>
