The Longfellow Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run each year in early June at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. A six furlong sprint for either gender aged three and up, the ungraded Longfellow offers a purse of $70,000 and a trophy.
The race, inaugurated in 1952, began as an eight furlong event. From 1963 to 1967 it went off at furlongs. In 1968 it stretched out to nine furlongs and remained at that distance until 1996. In 1997, it became a six furlong race.
The Longfellow is named for the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Longfellow, one of America's great racehorses as well as one of the great stallions of the 19th century.
In 2000, Delaware Township set a new stakes record of 1:07.84 while equaling the track record set in 1992 by Gilded Time.
