Pebbles Stakes

The Pebbles Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three year old fillies over a distance of one mile on the turf held annually in November at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York.

The event is named after Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s champion grass mare Pebbles.

This chestnut mare won the 1985 Breeders' Cup Turf at Aqueduct as a four-year-old.

The inaugural running of the event was on 1 September 1993 over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles and was won by Peter E. Blum's Statuette who won the event by a neck over the French bred mare Tricky Princess in a time of 1:40.68.
