The Quick Call Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for horses aged three years old over the distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs on the turf scheduled annually in July at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The event currently carries a purse of $175,000.
The race was inaugurated in September 2008.[1] Thereafter it has been held in either July or early August.[1]
The event is named in honor of Quick Call, the multiple graded stakes winning gelding who won more than half his 16 career victories at the Saratoga Race Course.[2] Quick Call was a dual winner of the GII Forego Handicap, lived to the age of 35 and is buried at Clare Court in Saratoga Springs.[3]
The 2010 running was on the Inner Turf course at a distance of 1 mile.[1]
In 2019 the event was upgraded to Grade III.[4] The race was run on the main track in 2023 and was subsequently downgraded to a Listed event.[5]
