Garden State Stakes
The Garden State Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in mid November at the now defunct Garden State Park Racetrack in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. A futurity event for two-year-olds, it is sometimes referred to as the Garden State Futurity. In 1953, it became the richest horse race in the world with a purse above $300,000, before being surpassed by the Arlington-Washington Futurity Stakes in 1962.
The race was contested on dirt until 1994 when it was changed to a race on turf. It was raced at various distances:
In 1955, the racetrack created a counterpart for fillies called the Gardenia Stakes.
The Garden State Stakes was placed on hiatus in 1973 and after a fire destroyed the racetrack on April 14, 1977 it would not be run again until a new track was built by International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, Garden State Race Track, Inc. headed by Robert E. Brennan that opened on April 1, 1985. The March 18, 2000 issue of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Garden State Stakes had been cancelled for financial reasons.
