The Hill Prince Stakes is an American Grade III Thoroughbred horse race contested annually in early June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Open to three-year-old horses, it is raced on turf at a distance of one mile (8 furlongs).
Inaugurated in 1975, from its inception through 2005 it was raced at 1 1/8 miles (9 furlongs). The Hill Prince Stakes was hosted by the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York in 1979, 1980, and again in 1982.
The race is named for Christopher Chenery's Hall of Fame colt, Hill Prince.
The race was run in two divisions in 1982.
