The Mother Goose Stakes is an American thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Raced on dirt, the Grade I race is the first leg of the Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing and currently offers a purse of $250,000. Inaugurated in 1957 at a mile and a sixteenth, it was modified to its present mile and an eighth format in 1959.
The race was named for H.P. Whitney's filly Mother Goose, one of only thirteen fillies to have ever won the male dominated Belmont Futurity Stakes.
The Mother Goose Stakes was run at Aqueduct Racetrack from 1963 to 1967, in 1969, and again in 1975.
