The La Troienne Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 1986 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Formerly the Louisville Distaff Handicap, the Grade I event run in early May is open to fillies and mares, age three and older. It is contested on dirt over a distance of 7.5 furlongs. It is named after the famous broodmare, La Troienne.
This race was upgraded to a Grade I for its 2014 running.
