La Troienne back on Churchill stakes schedule
By Marty McGee

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Churchill Downs on Wednesday released its 2010 stakes schedule for both the spring and fall meets, with some of the minor revisions being attributable to the 27th Breeders' Cup championships being run here Nov. 5-6.

The spring schedule, highlighted as always by the $2 million Kentucky Derby on May 1, underwent a handful of changes, most notably the restoration of the La Troienne Stakes. The $300,000 La Troienne replaces what had been known as the Louisville Stakes, formerly the Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap, a filly-mare race held annually on the Kentucky Oaks undercard. Until being renamed the Eight Belles for the 2009 running, the La Troienne had been for 3-year-old fillies on the Derby undercard.
