Watch the 2026 Pilgrim Stakes
Pilgrim Stakes Race History
The Pilgrim Stakes is a Grade II thoroughbred horse race run each year at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. Inaugurated in 1979 at Aqueduct, the race was named for Pilgrim, the winner of the 1919 Remsen Stakes. Pilgrim was owned by Joseph E. Widener, a renowned art collector and major figure in horse racing in the early 20th century. After finding success as an owner of champion-caliber horses (in both flat and steeplechase events), he went on to acquire a sizable portion of Belmont's breeding stock, as well as a majority stake in the track itself. He served as the track president from 1925 to 1939.
In 2022, the event was temporarily moved to its original home at Aqueduct due to redevelopment work at Belmont Park. The race returned to Belmont in 2026
Jockey John Velazquez has a record five victories to his name and trainer Todd A. Pletcher has a record six wins. The last win for Velazquez came in 2007 atop The Leopard, which happened to be Pletcher's first win at the race.
As part of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series, the winner automatically qualifies for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.
