Jaipur Stakes

The Jaipur Stakes is a Grade I American Thoroughbred horse race for horses aged three years old and older held over a distance of six furlongs on the turf scheduled annually in early June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

[1] The race is named after Jaipur, the Champion three-year-old colt of 1962 who ran one of the most memorable Travers Stakes on record.

In 2013, heavy rain forced the Jaipur to be moved from the turf to the sloppy main track.

Because of the move, the stakes race lost its Grade III status for that renewal.

[3] In 2024 the event was moved to Saratoga Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.
