The Fred "Cappy" Capossela Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race. Held each February since 1885 at Aqueduct Racetrack, this race was originally called the Swift Stakes (where it was originally held at Sheepshead Bay Race Track), until its name was changed in 1993 in honor of racing announcer Fred Capossela. The six-furlong dirt race is open to three-year-olds. An ungraded stakes, it offers a purse of $100,000.
