Fred "Cappy" Capossela Stakes

The Fred "Cappy" Capossela Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race. The event was held each February since 1885 at Aqueduct Racetrack, this race was originally called the Swift Stakes (where it was originally held at Sheepshead Bay Race Track), until its name was changed in 1993 in honor of racing announcer Fred Capossela. The six-furlong dirt race was open to three-year-olds. The event was last held in 2015.
