Ogden Phipps Stakes
Horse race
The Ogden Phipps Stakes is an American Grade I Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares , four years of age and older run over a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles on the dirt track held annually in mid June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York .
History
Inaugurated in 1961 as the Hempstead Handicap and was run at 1+ 1 ⁄2 miles for both sexes. The event was not run again until 1970. It was raced under that name until 2002 when it was renamed in honor of prominent owner and breeder, Ogden Phipps (1908–2002). His horses won this race in 1988 and 1990.
The race was run at 6 furlongs in 1970 and 1971; a 1+ 1 ⁄8 miles from 1974 through 1994. It was hosted by Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York in 1973 and 1974.[ 1]
The event was upgraded to Grade I in 1984.[ 2]
In 2014 the conditions of the event were changed from handicap to stakes allowance and the name of the event was modified to the Ogden Phipps Stakes .
In 2024 the event was moved to Saratoga Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park and the distance of the event was increased to 1+ 1 ⁄8 furlongs.[ 3]
