The Garden City Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in mid September at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. A Grade 1 event open to three-year-old fillies, it is raced on turf over a distance of a mile and an eighth (9 furlongs).[1]

First run in 1978 as the Garden City Handicap for older mares,[2] the following year it was limited to three-year-old fillies and named the Rare Perfume Handicap in honor of George Widener's racing mare, Rare Perfume. In 1998 the race was renamed for Garden City, New York, a village in the Town of Hempstead in central Nassau County located near the racetrack.[3]
