The Colleen Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in late July or early August at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. Open to two-year-old fillies, it is contested on turf over a distance of five furlongs.[2]

Inaugurated in 1887 at the Monmouth Park Association racetrack near Long Branch, New Jersey, it was raced at Jerome Park Racetrack in Fordham, New York, in 1891, when the Monmouth meet moved there under pressure from New Jersey State anti-gambling politicians.[3][4] The race returned to Monmouth Park for 1892 and 1893, after which New Jersey banned wagering on horse races and the racetrack was forced out of business. Pari-mutuel wagering returned to New Jersey in the 1940s, and the new Monmouth Park Racetrack opened in 1946, with the Colleen Stakes again part of its racing schedule.[3]

The Colleen Stakes was run in two divisions in 1949, 1980, 1986 and 1987.

In 2012, the distance was reduced from 5+1⁄2 furlongs to five furlongs and the race was moved from dirt to turf.[5][6]

Records

The fastest time recorded at the current five-furlong distance is 0:55.64, set by Dreamaway in 2024.[2]
