The Aberdeen Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually from 1913 through 1947 at Havre de Grace Racetrack in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Open to two-year-olds of either sex, it was run on dirt over a distance of four-and-a-half furlongs. At one time an important event for juveniles, 1915 winner George Smith and 1919 winner Paul Jones both went on to win the Kentucky Derby. The Aberdeen Stakes was last run in 1947, a year in which Saggy won and set a new World Record for the fourand-a-half furlong distance on dirt around one turn.
