The Jaipur Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race for horses four-years-old and up, run in June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. A Grade III race, it is set at a distance of 6 furlongs on turf.
The race is named after Jaipur, the Champion three-year-old colt of 1962 who ran one of the most memorable Travers Stakes on record.
The race was run at seven furlongs in 1986 to 2005, and again from 2011 to 2013. All other renewals have been at six furlongs.
For three years (1986, 1994, and 1995), it was run in two divisions.
In 2013, heavy rain forced the Jaipur to be moved from the turf to the sloppy main track. Because of the move, the stakes race lost its Grade III status for that renewal.
