The Victory Ride Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies run at a distance of 6+1⁄2 furlongs on the dirt held annually in late June or early July at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

History

The race is named in honor of Victory Ride, winner of the Grade I Test Stakes in 2001.

The race was ungraded for its first three editions and was upgraded to Grade III in 2006. [2]
