Oceanport Stakes

The Oceanport Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early August at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. Open to horses age three and older, the Grade III event is contested on turf over a distance of 1+1⁄16 miles(8.5 furlongs).

Inaugurated in 1947 as a six furlong sprint race on dirt, it was switched to the turf course in 1964.

The race was not run in 1996 due to Hurricane Bertha. It was run in two divisions in 1956, 1966–1969, 1971, 1973, 1975–1976, 1979, 1982.
