The Wonder Again Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies aged three years old held over a distance of 1+18 miles on the inner turf scheduled annually in early June at Belmont ParkinElmont, New York.[1][2] The event currently carries a purse of $200,000.[1][2]

History[edit]

The race is named after the Grade I winner Wonder Again, full sister to Grass Wonder (Japanese-trained), who won the GI Garden City Breeders' Cup (2002) and GI Diana Handicap (2004).[2][3]

The race was inaugurated in 25 May 2014 with a stakes purse of $200,000.[1]

In 2017 the event was classified as Grade III, and promoted to Grade II in 2022.[1]

The event is considered a preparatory race for the Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes which is held in July.

In 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, NYRA scheduled the event in their updated and shortened spring-summer meeting with a shorter distance of one mile.[4]

In 2024 the event was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to infield tunnel and redevelopment work at Belmont Park.[5]
