Notes
The Mother Goose Stakes is an American horseracing event that is raced each year at a distance of nine furlongs on the dirt track of Belmont Park racetrack. This grade I race is open to thoroughbred fillies with age group three. This race is considered as the first leg of the Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing. Since the inauguration in 1957, the Mother Goose was raced in different distances but the present format was granted in 1959. The name of the race is for H. P. Whitney̢۪s filly Mother Goose, one of the lucky thirteen fillies to register wins in the male dominated Belmont Futurity Stakes. The Mother Goose Stakes was organized at Aqueduct Racetrack from 1963 to 1967, in 1969 and in 1975.
