The With Anticipation Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually near the end of August or early September at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Raced on turf at a distance of originally one mile, now a mile and 1/16th, it is open to two-year-old horses. Formerly a Grade III race, the American Graded Stakes Committee upgraded it to Grade II for 2011.
The race is currently part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series. The winner will automatically qualify for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
The race is named in honor of George W. Strawbridge, Jr.'s outstanding turf runner, With Anticipation.
