The Affectionately Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run between 1976 and 2015 at New York's Aqueduct Race Track.[1]
The one and one-sixteenth mile listed stakes event was for fillies and mares, three-years-old and up, offering a purse of $100,000 added. Through 2004 it was a Grade III Stakes.[2]
The race was named for the great racing filly Affectionately. She was ranked Number 81 in the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century. Affectionately was called the "Queen of Aqueduct" during her racing days.
In 1976 the race was run at one mile. In 1977, 1983, and 1985, it was run in two divisions.
