The Sands Point Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles on the turf track scheduled annually in October at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
The event is named after Sands Point, New York, a village located at the northernmost tip of the Cow Neck Peninsula on the North Shore of Long Island.
The event was inaugurated on 23 June 1995 as the Sands Point Handicap and was run over the 1+1⁄16 mile distance with Perfect Arc ridden by US Hall of Fame jockey John R. Velazquez winning the event by five lengths over the odds-on favorite Miss Union Avenue in a time of 1:43.14.
[1] Perfect Arc in 1995 was crowned New York State Horse of the Year.
