The Saratoga Oaks Invitational Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies and older run over a distance of one and three-sixteenths miles on the turf held annually in August at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.
In 2019 the New York Racing Association with the influx of racino dollars created a new racing series for three year old fillies called the Turf Tiara.
The Saratoga Oaks Invitational Stakes was positioned as the second leg of the new three race series.
