Bay Shore Stakes

The Bay Shore Stakes is a American Thoroughbred horse race run at Aqueduct Racetrack in Jamaica, New York in the early Spring of the year. The Grade III event is for three-year-olds of either gender, and is set at a distance of seven furlongs on the dirt track.

In its 49th running in 2009, the Bay Shore, named for a resort town in Suffolk County, New York, offers a purse of $150,000. It was also the name of a seven-furlong race for three-year-olds and up, last run in 1955.

The race was run in two divisions in 1962, 1968, 1975, and 1986. Prior to 1964, it was set at one mile, then at six furlongs in 1977, 1978, 1984, and 1994. Due to bad weather it was not run at all in 1993.
