The Speakeasy Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. A race for two-year-old horses of either sex, it is run at a distance of five furlongs. From inception in 1969 through 2018 the race was run on dirt.[1] For its forty-sixth running in 2019 it became a race on turf and was made part of the "Win and You're In" qualifying race for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.[2] In 2010 the race was hosted by the now defunct Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California.[3]
