The Peter Pan Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred race for three-year-old horses, traditionally contested over 1 1/8 miles (nine furlongs) on dirt. It is usually run in early May at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, though recent renewals have taken place at Belmont At The Big A while Belmont Park undergoes renovation.
The 2026 Peter Pan Stakes is expected to take place on May 9th.
Notable winners of the Peter Pan Stakes include famous sophomores such as Arcangelo and Tonalist, both of whom went on to triumph in the Belmont Stakes. Other historic winners include Hall of Famer A.P. Indy, Seeking the Gold, and Country Grammer, underscoring the race’s long tradition as a key stepping stone on the road to classic success.
