Flash Stakes

 ( Horse Races In The United States ) 

The Flash Stakes was a horse race for two-year-old Thoroughbred race horse and one of the longest running horse racing events in United States. Run before races were graded, the Flash was won by a host of starry names. Begun before the United States Hotel Stakes (also now removed from racing's roster), it was the oldest race for juveniles of either gender in the United States.

Once a historic fixture in Saratoga Springs, New York at the Saratoga Race Course, it was eliminated in 2005 by the New York Racing Association (NYRA), which feared bankruptcy.

Moved from its home in Saratoga after a long absence, the Grade III Flash had raced on at Belmont Park as a five furlong sprint on the main track for a $100,000 added purse until the NYRA's 2005 decision.
