The Miss Grillo Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-olds filles over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles on the turf track scheduled annually in late September at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
The event was named for the Argentine bred filly Miss Grillo,[1] a record breaking stakes winner in the 1940s who won the Diana Handicap twice.
[3] From 2001–2007 the race was not graded as in 2009 when the event was moved off the turf track due to the inclement weather and held over a shorter one mile distance.
In 2022 the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.
† In the 1990 running, Seewillo was first past the post but was disqualified for interference in the straight and Purana was declared the winner.
