The Turf Monster Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three years old or older, over a distance of five furlongs on the turf held annually in September at Parx Casino and Racing racetrack in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
The race was inaugurated on May 27, 2002[1] with an attractive purse offered of $100,000[1] as the Turf Monster Handicap.
[2] In 2021 the ten-year-old Hollywood Talent finished with a late surge and won by 1+1⁄4 lengths at odds of 108-1,[5] but the horse was later disqualified after drug testing found the prohibited substance levamisole.
[6] The 2024 running was moved off the turf to the dirt track due to the poor state of the turf track.
† In 2021, Hollywood Talent finished first but was later disqualified due to a medication violation.
