The Gotham Stakes is a Grade III thoroughbred race at Aqueduct Racetrack for Three Year Olds with a current purse value of $300,000. Some of the biggest names in racing have won the elusive Kentucky Derby Prep race, including Native Dancer (1953), Jaipur (1962), Secretariat (1973), and Easy Goer (1989). A number of Derby winners have won this race including 1973 Triple Crown champion Secretariat. Records have been set in the Gotham: One such record is Easy Goer's 1:32.40 for a track and stakes record of 1 mile. The race was inaugurated in 1953 at Jamaica Racetrack before moving to Aqueduct Racetrack in 1960.
