Adirondack Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Adirondack Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race first run in 1901. Held in the middle of August at Saratoga Race Course, the Adirondack Stakes is open to two-year-old fillies willing to race six and a half furlongs on the dirt. It is a Grade II event with a purse of $150,000.

The Adirondack is named for the mountainous region of northeastern New York State and will be in its 92nd running in 2008.

This race was at Belmont Park in 1943, 1944, and 1945; and at Jamaica in 1953 and 1954. It was not run in 1911 and 1912; from 1946 to 1952, nor from 1956 to 1961.

Sky Beauty won this race in 1992. The great filly Busher took it in 1944.
