The Glen Cove Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three year old fillies over a distance of six furlongs on the turf held annually in October at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York. The event currently carries a purse of $175,000.
The event is named after the city of Glen Cove in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island.
The inaugural running of the event was on October 15, 2021 over a distance of 7 furlongs at Belmont Park and was won by the Michael J. Trombetta trained 19/1 longshot Aug Lites who defeated the favorite Bay Storm by a length and a quarter, in a time of 1:20.23.
The following year the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack and the distance was decreased to six furlongs. [1]
In 2025 the event was upgraded to Grade III by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. [2]
