The Eatontown Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares, three years old and older over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles on the turf course scheduled annually in June at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey and currently offers a purse of $150,000 plus a trophy.[1]

History

The event is named after Eatontown, New Jersey, a Borough near the Monmouth Park track.

The inaugural running of the event was on 9 August 1971, on the closing day of the 1971 Monmouth Park summer meeting as the Eatontown Handicap and was won by the 35-1 longshot in the field, a six-year-old Chilean mare Flor De Sombra in a time of 1:464⁄5.[2] Flor De Sombra was claimed earlier that year by Joseph W. Mergler at Gulfstream Park for $14,500.[2]

The following year the event was run in split divisions. The event has been held in split divisions seven times with the last occurrence in 1987.[3]

The event was taken of the turf in 1977 due to state of the track after inclement weather and held on the main dirt track.[4] The event was held on the main track in 2006 and 2020.[4]

For three runnings of the event, from 1988 and 1990 the race was run over the slightly longer distance of 1+1⁄8 miles.[5]

In 1996 the event was upgraded by the American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Grade III status.[5] The event has held with this status until 2020 when the event was automatically downgraded to Listed class due to the race been run off the turf.[4]

Since 2013 the event has been held as the Eatontown Stakes with stakes allowance conditions.[4]
