The Kentucky Cup Juvenile Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in late September as part of Kentucky Cup Day at Turfway Park in the Cincinnati, Ohio suburb of Florence, Kentucky.
A 11/16 miles (8.5 furlongs) Grade III race for two-year-old colts, it was raced on natural dirt until 2005 when Turfway Park installed the new synthetic polytrack surface.
Inaugurated in 1994, the Kentucky Cup Juvenile Stakes replaced the In Memoriam Stakes.
