Produce Stakes (United States)

The Produce Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-old fillies. It was historically a significant race for juvenile fillies, often serving as a stepping stone to later classics. The distance, purse, and specific conditions of the race varied over the years and at different racetracks, but it generally involved a distance of six furlongs to a mile on dirt.

The race was discontinued in the latter half of the 20th century, though its prominence had diminished earlier due to the rise of other important races for two-year-old fillies. Records regarding its exact history, including founding dates and final running year, are often incomplete or fragmented, depending on the racetrack where it was hosted. Finding precise, comprehensive data on the Produce Stakes requires thorough research into historical racing publications and archives.
