Aberdeen Stakes
The Aberdeen Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually from 1913 through 1947 at Havre de Grace Racetrack in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Open to two-year-olds of either sex, it was run on dirt over a distance of four-and-a-half furlongs.
At one time an important event for juveniles, 1915 winner George [Smith (horse)|George Smith] and 1919 winner Paul [Jones (horse)|Paul Jones] both went on to win the Kentucky Derby.
The Aberdeen Stakes was last run in 1947, a year in which Saggy won and set a new World Record for the four-and-a-half furlong distance on dirt around one turn.
