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 Frizette Stakes automatically qualifies for the [[Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic]].<ref>http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx</ref>
 
In time for the 2006 edition of the Spinster Stakes, Keeneland replaced its traditional dirt track with the synthetic surface, [[Synthetic racetrack surfaces for horse racing|Polytrack synthetic dirt]]. In 2014, the Polytrack was replaced by a new dirt surface.<ref>{{cite web|title=Keeneland Debuts New Dirt Surface on Main Race Track {{!}} Keeneland Thoroughbred Racing and Sales|url=https://www.keeneland.com/racing/keeneland-debuts-new-dirt-surface-main-race-track|website=www.keeneland.com|accessdate=15 June 2016}}</ref>
