The Kelso Stakes is an American race for Thoroughbred horse race run annually in late September/early October at Belmont Park in Elmont New York. A Grade II event open to horses age three and up it was contested on turf over a distance of one mile (8 furlongs) from 1988-2008. The race was moved to the dirt at the same distance in 2010. It had been originally being scheduled for turf before being moved to the main track in 2009 due to extremely heavy rain the day before.
