The Rushaway Stakes is an American ungraded Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky. It was first run on March 22, 1986, the last year the racetrack was called Latonia. The race is open to three-year-old horses and run over a distance of one and one sixteenth miles (8.5 furlongs).[http://www.turfway.com/stakes_history Turfway Park complete Rushaway Stakes history] Originally raced on natural dirt, and for the first two years at one mile, since 2021 it has been contested on Tapeta synthetic dirt.[http://www.turfway.com/Turfway-Track-Records, Dirt and Synthetic]

The race is named in honor of the racehorse Rushaway who, on Friday afternoon, May 22, 1936, won the Illinois Derby at Aurora Downs in Aurora, Illinois.[https://www.nytimes.com/1936/05/23/archives/rushaway-easily-captures-illinois-derby-count-morse-2d-as-dnieper.html New York Times, May 23, 1936 article titled "Rushaway Easily Captures Illinois Derby"] Retrieved June 23, 2018 That night, the three-year-old gelding was shipped three hundred miles south via express train to the Latonia Race Track in Latonia, Kentucky where on Saturday he won the Latonia Derby. Rushaway's feat of endurance is unmatched and still talked about more than eighty years later.[https://www.americasbestracing.net/the-sport/2017-whats-race-name-rushaways-unprecedented-derby-double Americas Best Racing article titled "What’s in a (Race) Name? Rushaway’s Unprecedented Derby Double"] His accomplishment in the Latonia Derby was made even more remarkable because Rushaway was carrying top weight in the eight-horse field by three pounds yet won by 6 lengths and did it in a new race record time for the mile-and-a-quarter distance.[https://drf.uky.edu/catalog/1930s/drf1936052501/drf1936052501_1_2 Daily Racing Form, 1936-05-25, "A. G. Tarn's "Iron Horse" Accomplishes Unparalleled Turf Feat"]
