Correction Stakes

The Correction Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually near the end of January at Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park, Queens, New York. A non-graded stakes race for fillies and mares age three and older, it is raced on dirt over a distance of six furlongs. It currently offers a purse of $65,000. Inaugurated in 1940 at Jamaica Race Course, following that track's closure the race was moved to its current location at Aqueduct Racetrack. The race was named in honor of Correction, a filly owned by John Morris and his son, Alfred and trained by U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Wyndham Walden.[1]

In 1952, the race was open to fillies and mares and in 1954 it was run in two divisions.
