The Adena Springs Beaumont Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in April at Keeneland Race Course near Lexington, Kentucky. The Grade III (lately downgraded from Grade II) race is open to fillies, age three, willing to race about seven furlongs on dirt.
The race, for the moment, currently carries a purse of $150,000 and is currently sponsored by Adena Springse of Paris, Kentucky. Previously run as an allowance race, the Beaumont was elevated to a stakes event for the 1986 spring meeting.
The race is named in honor of the Beaumont Farm of Hal Price Headley, one of Keeneland's founders. The Beaumont is run on the Beard Course which is named after Major Louie Beard, another one of Keeneland's founders.
