The Sapling Stakes is an American Ungraded Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early September at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey.
Open to 2-year-olds, it was raced on dirt over a distance of six furlongs for a current purse of $100,000.
First run in 1883, the New Jersey Legislature passed a law in 1894 that banned parimutuel betting in the state and the track closed.
This race was downgraded to a Listed Status for its 2014 running.
Most wins by a trainer: Note: the 1893 race was run at 5+1⁄2 furlongs on the straight course.
