Beaugay Stakes

The Beaugay Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares three-years-old and older over a distance of one and one-sixteenth of a mile at Belmont Park in Elmont, Long Island, New York.

History
The event was inaugurated on 30 December 1978 at Aqueduct Racetrack and run on the dirt track.

The race is named in honor of Elizabeth Arden's Beaugay, the American Champion Two-Year-old of 1945.

In 1979, the Beaugay Handicap was raced in two divisions.

In 1983 NYRA moved the race to Belmont Park and was run on the turf course in early June.

Due to bad weather in 1998 that severely affected the turf course, the race was run on the dirt track at a distance of one mile.

In 2024 the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.
