The Neptune Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-old horses at Brighton Beach Race Course in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, New York. Inaugurated in 1900, the last edition of the race at the Brighton Beach track took place in 1907. It would be run only one more time when it was revived in 1910 at the Empire City Race Track in Yonkers, New York.
The 1900 inaugural running of the Neptune Stakes was won by the colt Tommy Atkins ridden by top jockey Henry Spencer for trainer James G. Rowe Sr., a future National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee, and owner James R. Keene and his son, Foxhall P. Keene. Trainer Rowe and the owners would win the Neptune Stakes again in 1902 and 1906. Winner Tommy Atkins, again with Henry Spencer as his jockey, also won the 1900 Juvenile Stakes at New York’s Morris Park Racecourse.
